Seabird foraging behaviour indicates prey type (2008, methodology): “…of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 354: 289–303, 2008 tors reflect relative abundance in the environment, predator selection of more energetically profitable items over less profitable items or reflect relative abundance of individual ‘specialists’ of a species within the population (Gaston 2004).”
A practical introduction to stable-isotope analysis for seabird biologists: Approaches, cautions and caveats (2009, background): “For many seabird species, winter diet and distribution are poorly known or completely unknown (Gaston & Jones 1998, Brooke 2004, Gaston 2004, Barrett et al. 2007), and so a valid assessment or comparison of isotopic ratios is challenging.”
Migration and wintering of a declining seabird, the thick-billed murre Uria lomvia, on an ocean basin scale: Conservation implications (2016, background): “Murres are highly specialised for deep diving, with the highest wing loading and the deepest diving ability among flying birds (Gaston, 2004; Elliott et al., 2013).”
Central-Place Foraging in an Arctic Seabird Provides Evidence for Storer-Ashmole's Halo (2009, background): “In the absence of such manipulations, the abundance of indirect evidence from different taxa and locations supports Storer-Ashmole’s halo as an important determinant of variation in the breeding biology of a wide range of seabirds (Ainley et al. 2004, Gaston 2004, Ballance et al. 2009).”
