Changes in body condition in breeding kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla
We investigated the seasonal pattern of changes in body condition of breeding black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla in Svalbard (79°N) to evaluate whether changes in body condition were a consequence of the energetic demands of breeding (the reproductive stress hypothesis) or of voluntary anorexia to attain lower flight costs during chick rearing (the programmed anorexia hypothesis). Adult b...
متن کاملInter- and intra-year variation in foraging areas of breeding kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla)
While seabird conservation efforts have largely focused on protection from threats at the colony (e.g. reducing disturbance and predation), attention is increasingly being given to implementing protection measures for foraging areas at sea. For this to be effective, important foraging areas must be identified. Although numerous studies have examined seabird foraging behaviour, information is st...
متن کاملWinter dispersal and activity patterns of post- breeding black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla from Prince William Sound, Alaska
As colony-specific wintering ecology of small and medium-sized seabirds is poorly understood, it has been generally assumed that winter conditions have the same effect on all individuals from any given colony. However, advances in global positioning technology now allow researchers to investigate movements of smaller seabirds. We tracked black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla using geolocator...
متن کاملRelationships between POPs and baseline corticosterone levels in black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) across their breeding cycle.
Chronic exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in wildlife might alter the response to environmental changes through interference with the regulation of stress hormones. Here, we examined the relationship between blood concentrations of several POPs and baseline plasma corticosterone levels in the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) during three distinct periods in the breeding ...
متن کاملEarly Spring Wreck of Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa Tridactyla in North Norway, April 2003
Barrett, R.T., Josefsen, T.D. & Polder, A. 2004. Early spring wreck of Blacklegged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla in North Norway, April 2003. Atlantic Seabirds 6(2): 33-45. Large numbers of dead Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla were washed ashore in 'orth 'orway in late April 2003. Inspection of 51 corpses indicated that they had died of starvation. More than 90% of those collected were m...
