| prey and plastic ingestion of pacific northern fulmars (fulmarus glacialis rogersii) from monterey bay, california. | marine plastic pollution affects seabirds, including pacific northern fulmars (fulmarus glacialis rodgersii), that feed at the surface and mistake plastic for prey or incidentally ingest it. direct and indirect health issues can result, including satiety and possibly leading to inefficient foraging. our objective was to examine fulmar body condition, identify cephalopod diet to species, enumerate and weigh ingested plastic, and determine if prey number and size were correlated with ingested plas ... | 2014 | 24951249 |
| modeling nonresident seabird foraging distributions to inform ocean zoning in central california. | seabird aggregations at sea have been shown to be associated with concentrations of prey. previous research identified central california as a highly used foraging area for seabirds, with locally breeding seabirds foraging close to their colonies on southeast farallon island. herein, we focus on nonresident (i.e. non-locally breeding) seabird species off of central california. we hypothesized that high-use foraging areas for nonresident seabirds would be influenced by oceanographic and bathymetr ... | 2017 | 28122001 |
