Diet reconstruction and historic population dynamics in a threatened seabird (2007, background): “Minor adjustments (± 2‰) to the diet-tissue fractionation factor value shifted the proportion estimated for each diet group simultaneously and did not affect rankings of prey items in the murrelet diet (as in Becker & Beissinger 2006) nor the relationship between diet and murrelet abundance. murrele”
The effects of climate change on tropical birds (2012, background): “Effects of climate change on tropical seabirds have received little attention, but changes in sea surface temperatures can reduce marine prey availability for seabirds (Becker et al., 2007; Le Bohec et al., 2008; Watanuki et al., 2009).”
