Information on diet composition, foraging effort and breeding success of the Antarctic Shag (Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis) was obtained at three colonies on the Antarctic Peninsula, during the 1997/98 breeding season. ...

Understanding the foraging behaviour of seabirds and its plasticity is vital to establish their role in marine food webs and their use as indicators of change in the availability of prey. The foraging behaviour of penguins ...

© 2021 The AuthorsAnimals constantly test the borders of their own ecological niche and tend to expand their range, which is now additionally challenged by global climate change. Following human exploitation throughout the ...

Breeding success depends on efficient foraging behaviour by breeding individuals. However, foraging skills are acquired over time and foraging behaviour is expected to be optimised over the course of successive breeding ...

Melilotus albus Desr. is recognized as one of the species with greatest potential as a forage source for ruminants in saline rangelands. The objectives of the current research were threefold: (1) to estimate heritability ...

Individual consistency in foraging behaviour can generate behavioural variability within populations and may, ultimately, lead to species diversification. However, individual-based long-term behavioural studies are ...

Studies of the foraging behaviour of birds allow exploration of the mechanisms that structure species assemblages. The major objective of this study was to describe relationships among various components of foraging behaviour ...

Interannual variation in seabird foraging or reproductive behaviour may reflect fluctuations in marine resources. In this study, we evaluated different foraging and breeding parameters of Magellanic Penguins (Spheniscus ...
