Mesoscale eddies as foraging area of a deep-diving predator, the southern elephant seal (2010, background): “Recent work suggests the importance of eddies in providing foraging opportunities for sea birds (Nel et al. 2001, Weimerskirch et al. 2004, Cotté et al. 2007) as well as for other predators such as sea turtles (Ferraroli et al. 2004, Polovina et al. 2006), cetaceans (Davis et al. 2002) and southern…”
Niche partitioning among and within sympatric tropical seabirds revealed by stable isotope analysis (2010, background): “High trophic level marine predators thus face many challenges locating prey and have likely evolved behavioral and morphological adaptations that facilitate energetically efficient travel and foraging behavior (Bertrand et al. 2002, Weimerskirch et al. 2004).”
Foraging strategy of a tropical seabird, the red- footed booby, in a dynamic marine environment (2005, background): “…day is probably related to birds having reached prey patches after a period of commuting, rather than to the higher availability of prey at this particular time of the day as shown in long range frigatebirds that feed on the same prey mainly in the morning and evening (Weimerskirch et al. 2004).”
Resource partitioning within a tropical seabird community: new information from stable isotopes (2008, background): “Since red-footed boobies have a relatively limited foraging range (Weimerskirch et al. 2005a,b), their δ13C values suggest that breeding frigatebirds mainly fed close to the island, with some individuals foraging over a much wider area (Weimerskirch et al. 2004, Jaquemet et al. 2005).”
Consequences of ecological connectivity: the coastal ecosystem mosaic (2009, background): “…of scales (Acha et al. 2004, Bakun 2006) involving animals as diverse as zooplankton (Genin 2004), larval fish (Bakun 2006), predatory fish (Zamon 2003), sea birds (Davoren et al. 2003, Weimerskirch et al. 2004), planktivorous sharks (Sims et al. 2003), and cetaceans (Atkins et al. 2004).”
Tracking seabirds to identify potential Marine Protected Areas in the tropical western Indian Ocean (2012, unknown): “Since 2003, we conducted a regional tracking program on seabirds of the tropical western Indian Ocean (see Weimerskirch et al., 2004, 2005, 2010; Catry et al., 2009b; Pinet et al., 2011).”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “…spp. (e.g. Falk & Moller 1995), Calonectris spp. (e.g. Gonzalez-Solis et al. 2007, Magalhães et al. 2008), and Puffinus spp. (e.g. Shaffer et al. 2006, Guilford et al. 2009), to sulids (e.g. Hamer et al. 2000, Weimerskirch et al. 2005) and frigatebirds Fregata spp. (Weimerskirch et al. 2004).”
