Dynamic oceanography determines fine scale foraging behavior of Masked Boobies in the Gulf of Mexico.

During breeding, foraging marine birds are under biological, geographic, and temporal constraints. These contraints require foraging birds to efficiently process environmental cues derived from physical habitat features that occur at nested spatial scales. Mesoscale oceanography in particular may ch...
