Colonial breeding is widespread among animals. Some, such as eusocial insects, may use agonistic behavior to partition available foraging habitat into mutually exclusive territories; others, seabirds, do not. We found that northern gannets, satellite-tracked from 12 neighboring colonies, nonetheless forage in largely areas and these colony-specific home ranges are determined by density-dependent competition. This segregation be enhanced individual-level public information transfer, leading...
Many established models of animal foraging assume that individuals are ecologically equivalent. However, it is increasingly recognized populations may comprise who differ consistently in their diets and behaviors. For example, recent studies have shown individual site fidelity (IFSF, when forage only a small part population's home range) occurs some colonial breeders. Short‐term IFSF could result from animals using win–stay, lose–shift strategy. Alternatively, be consequence specialization....
Abstract Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT, Thunnus thynnus; Linneaus, 1758) is an ecologically important apex-predator with high commercial value. They were once common off the coast of United Kingdom (UK), before disappearing in 1960s. In regions lacking fisheries for ABT, such as UK and Ireland, spatial data can be scarce. these cases, sightings bycatch databases offset information shortfalls. Here, we document reappearance ABT into territorial waters from 2014 onwards, increased occurrence...
In this study photo-identification data were used to better understand movements, population structure and abundance of common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ) in south-west England surrounding waters, inform conservation efforts. A catalogue 485 photographic sightings 113 individuals was compiled from ~150 encounters made on 87 dates between March 2007 January 2014. From these other data, three likely sub-populations identified the western English Channel, demarcated by bathymetry...
As university libraries try to meet rising user expectations with limited resources, it is important ensure that existing book stock kept in circulation. This study investigated overdues at Leeds University Library, focusing on three key issues: reasons why users return their books overdue; effectiveness of current policies; and suggested improvements procedures. The was carried out using mixed methods: a print questionnaire 181 library users, qualitative interviews 10 staff members. primary...
This article examines how Mother Teresa’s practice of evangelical poverty developed and diverged from some the great mendicant traditions. It argues that she linked interior by establishing existential communion with poor—not material renunciation—as deepest expression Christ-imitation. While Neoplatonists believed a certain kind was necessary for spiritual growth, aim to console suffering Jesus through self-denial solidarity. The traces this understanding her, ways it may have contributed...
