Adjustment of foraging trips and flight behaviour to own and partner mass and wind conditions by a far-ranging seabird

Thomas A. Clay et al.

Summary: Many animals, including seabirds, have the ability to cover vast distances in search of food through efficient use of wind. During incubation, Juan Fernandez petrels adjust their foraging and flight decisions according to wind conditions and the condition of the pair. They conduct long trips, reaching a prey concentrated area about 3400 km west of the colony, benefiting from predictable winds.

How do resource distribution and taxonomy affect the use of dual foraging in seabirds? A review

Jessica A. Phillips et al.

Summary: Based on a review of seabird literature, this study found that seabirds using dual foraging strategies are more likely to do so when there are larger differences in habitat quality near and far from the breeding site. The study also highlighted the influence of environmental conditions and taxon-specific characteristics on seabird feeding behavior.

Environmental controls of billfish species in the Indian Ocean and implications for their management and conservation

Pascal Thoya et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial distribution of six billfish species in the Indian Ocean and identifies the important environmental factors that influence their distribution. The results show that billfish species are more abundant in the northern region of the Indian Ocean and off the East coast of Africa, with temperature, mixed layer depth, and salinity being the key predictors. The study also reveals a spatial overlap between fishing effort and billfish distribution, highlighting the inadvertent fishing pressure on billfish populations.

Foraging range scales with colony size in high-latitude seabirds

Allison Patterson et al.

Summary: The availability of prey resources around breeding colonies has a significant impact on the population dynamics of colonial animals. As colony size increases, intraspecific competition for prey resources intensifies, leading to a decline in reproductive success. Tracking data from murres, the most densely breeding seabirds, show that the distribution of foraging-trip distances scales with colony size, supporting the theory proposed by Ashmole. This relationship between colony size and foraging range can be used to estimate the foraging areas of colonial species, which is valuable for conservation and management efforts.

Marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas in the Chagos Archipelago

Peter Carr et al.

Summary: Seabirds are facing global decline and require protection on both land and sea. The Chagos Archipelago in the central Indian Ocean has proposed marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (mIBAs) in addition to terrestrial sites. This study uses updated seabird information and GPS tracking to identify a single mIBA that falls entirely within the Chagos Archipelago Marine Protected Area. This research emphasizes the importance of large-scale marine protected areas for the conservation of marine predators and provides a foundation for future studies on marine biodiversity hotspots in the central Indian Ocean.

Across borders: External factors and prior behaviour influence North Pacific albatross associations with fishing vessels

Rachael A. Orben et al.

Summary: Understanding the associations between albatrosses and fishing vessels in the North Pacific Ocean helps identify contributing factors of high-risk interactions that could lead to bycatch, providing valuable insights for ocean management and predator conservation. Utilizing Global Fishing Watch data and algorithms, the study reveals specific species-fisheries insights and highlights the importance of spatio-temporal patterns, vessel specific attributes, and predator behaviors associated with fishing vessel encounters.

Linking foraging and breeding strategies in tropical seabirds

L. M. Soanes et al.

Summary: Tropical seabirds exhibit variability in breeding and foraging strategies, with some breeding asynchronously in response to unpredictable prey availability, while others adopt seasonal breeding. The predictability of foraging behavior in the tropics is related to breeding strategy, with seasonally breeding populations showing more predictable foraging behavior than aseasonally breeding populations. This challenges the notion that tropical seabirds always have less predictable foraging behavior than temperate and polar seabirds and highlights the need for further exploration of the variability in breeding and foraging strategies among tropical seabirds.

Year-round at-sea distribution and trophic resources partitioning between two sympatric Sulids in the tropical Atlantic

Nathalie Almeida et al.

Summary: In the oligotrophic tropical marine environment, brown boobies and red-footed boobies exhibited different foraging behaviors and sexual segregation, influenced by oceanic features and competition. Brown boobies showed higher foraging site fidelity during coexistence, while inter-specific foraging differences were more affected by habitat preference and breeding stage.

Interspecific and intraspecific foraging differentiation of neighbouring tropical seabirds

R. E. Austin et al.

Summary: The study found that two neighboring seabird species, the red-footed booby and brown booby, used notably different foraging strategies, with marked spatial segregation but limited evidence of interspecific dietary partitioning. The larger-bodied brown booby foraged within neritic waters, while the smaller-bodied red-footed booby traveled further offshore.
