Foraging plasticity in seabirds: A non-invasive study of the diet of greater crested terns breeding in the Benguela region.
Marine predators, such as seabirds, are useful indicators of marine ecosystem functioning. In particular, seabird diet may reflect variability in food-web composition due to natural or human-induced environmental change. Diet monitoring programmes, which sample diet non-invasively, are valuable aids...
