King penguins adjust their fine-scale travelling and foraging behaviours to spatial and diel changes in feeding opportunities
Central place foragers such as pelagic seabirds often travel large distances to reach profitable foraging areas. King penguins ( Aptenodytes...

Foraging Habitats and Foraging Techniques of Five Wintering Anatidae Waterfowl in Light of Genetic Distances
AbstractThe diversity of foraging behaviour in waterfowl species is often estimated to mostly be the result of adaptations to different foraging...
-
Marked differences in foraging area use and susceptibility to predation between two closely-related tropical seabirds
Ecological theory predicts that closely-related species must occupy different niches to coexist. How marine top predators achieve this during...

Central-place foraging poses variable constraints year-round in a neotropical migrant
Background“Central-place foragers” are constrained in their habitat selection and foraging range by the frequency with which they need to return to a...
