Mercury (Hg) is a heterogeneously distributed toxicant affecting wildlife and human health. Yet, the spatial distribution of Hg remains poorly documented, especially in food webs, even though this knowledge essential to assess large-scale risk toxicity for biota populations. Here, we used seabirds assess, at an unprecedented population geographic magnitude high resolution, North Atlantic marine webs. To end, combined tracking data 837 from seven different species 27 breeding colonies located...
Abstract Investigating ecology of marine animals imposes a continuous challenge due to their temporal and/or spatial unavailability. Light‐based geolocators (GLS) are animal‐borne devices that provide relatively cheap and efficient method track seabird movement commonly used study migration. Here, we explore the potential GLS data establish individual behavior during breeding period in rock crevice‐nesting seabird, Little Auk, Alle alle . By deploying on 12 pairs, developed methodological...
Migration is a common trait among many animals allowing the exploitation of spatiotemporally variable resources. It often implies high energetic costs to cover large distances, for example between breeding and wintering grounds. For flying or swimming animals, adequate use winds currents can help reduce associated costs. Migratory seabirds are good models because they dwell in habitats characterized by strong while undertaking very long migrations. We tested hypothesis that migrate through...
