Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds (2018, methodology): “Because many seabirds feed on fish and are near the apex of the marine food chain, they are useful indicator species for the health of the marine environment and for marine spatial planning [12-14].”
Changes in diet and trophic position of a top predator 10 years after a mass mortality of a key prey (2010, background): “Seabirds are highly sensitive to changes in food abundance and diversity, whether related to climate, exploitation, or both (Crawford and Dyer, 1995; Reid and Croxall, 2001; Crawford, 2007; Frederiksen et al., 2007; Ainley and Blight, 2009).”
