Prey hotspotsThe study, led by scientists at the University of Liverpool looked at how differences in environmental features lead to 'prey hotspots'. These high-resource patches are often presented as being beneficial to foraging animals through helping them target here to find food, but the new research indicates that they have negative consequences too. Shelf-sea frontsPML remote sensing scientist Dr Peter Miller contributed information describing the shelf-sea fronts around the UK and Ireland, areas where two bodies of water meet and create areas of high nutrients and productivity. He said: "The strength, persistence and location of the fronts helped to describe the diversity of the foraging seascape of these birds, and that was found to significantly affect their behaviour and reproductive success." Protecting ecosystemsAlice Trevail, lead author of the study from the University of Liverpool said: “This study is the first to document the importance of how patchy an environment can be and how it affects seabird behaviour and success. |
