Foraging efficiency and adjustment of energy expenditure in a pelagic seabird provisioning its chick (2003, background): “…because during short trips, blue petrels forage close to the islands over the shelf area, whereas during the long trips, birds forage at least 1000 km from their colonies where swarms of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, one of their main prey during long trips, occur (Cherel et al. 2002).”
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BREEDING EXPERIENCE AFFECT COSTS OF REPRODUCTION IN BLUE PETRELS (2005, background): “It forages over oceanic waters and preys mainly on small crustaceans and fishes from antarctic waters south of the Antarctic convergence (Cherel et al. 2002).”
Using carbon and nitrogen isotopic values of body feathers to infer inter- and intra-individual variations of seabird feeding ecology during moult (2009, background): “Wing feathers are sampled either on killed birds (Hebert et al. 2008), on opportunistically collected dead birds (Bearhop et al. 1999; Cherel et al. 2002; Davoren et al. 2002), or, more commonly, on live birds (Cherel et al. 2000, 2008; Hedd and Montevecchi 2006).”
Diet and foraging areas of Southern Ocean seabirds and their prey inferred from stable isotopes: review and case study of Wilson's storm-petrel (2005, result): “…period, the δ13C values of Wilson’s storm-petrels were similar to those reported for adult black-browed albatrosses Diomedea melanophrys from Iles Kerguelen, which are known to moult in subtropical waters (Table 2; Cherel et al. 2000), and adult Antarctic prions (Table 2; Cherel et al. 2002a).”
Biogeography Of Procellariiform Foraging Strategies: Does Ocean Productivity Influence Provisioning? (2003, background): “Conversely, after long foraging trips parents deliver processed prey stored as stomach oil, and offshore fish and squid taken from pelagic waters (Chaurand & Weimerskirch 1994, Weimerskirch et al. 1994a, Weimerskirch & Cherel 1998, Catard et al. 2000, Cherel et al. 2002).”
Influence of trophic position and foraging range on mercury levels within a seabird community (2009, background): “…unusually high Hg burdens relative to their trophic position, for example whitechinned petrels (Phillips et al. 2006), and those known to forage at higher latitudes (with less likelihood of contamination) displaying concurrently lower Hg burdens, for example blue petrels (Cherel et al. 2002).”
Spatial and temporal variation in the diet of the gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) at Kerguelen Islands (2004, unknown): “Parathemisto gaudichaudii occurs in high densities in Morbihan Gulf (Bocher et al. 2001), in all seasons (Bost et al. 1994) and thus forms an important part of the diet of many seabirds (Cherel et al. 2002a, 2002b).”
Isotopic niches and trophic levels of myctophid fishes and their predators in the Southern Ocean (2010, methodology): “It includes the four most abundant species (E. antarctica, E. carlsbergi, K. anderssoni, and G. nicholsi) that form the bulk of mesopelagic fish biomass in the Southern Ocean and all the most important species eaten by predators (Sabourenkov 1992; Kozlov 1995; Cherel et al. 2002c).”
From lavage to lipids: Estimating diets of seabirds (2012, unknown): “In some cases, it is possible to use regressions of prey morphometrics to infer the original size and mass of the fish or squid consumed (e.g. Cherel et al. 2002).”
