Assessing Gull Abundance and Food Availability in Urban Parking Lots
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Feeding birds is a common activity throughout the world; yet, little is known about the extent of feeding gulls in urban areas. We monitored 8 parking lots in central Massachusetts, USA, during the fall and winter of 2011 to 2013 in 4 monitoring sessions

Spatial and temporal predictability drive foraging movements of coastal birds
Movement EcologyBackground Temporal and spatial predictability of food resources are critical to the foraging efficiency of central place foragers. While site fidelity is often assessed in this context, route fidelity, or the repeated use of the same path while ...

Quantifying gull predation in a declining Leach’s Storm-petrel (Hydrobates leucorhous) colony
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2023 The effect of gull predation on sympatric seabirds has garnered much attention and management action in recent decades. In Witless Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, gulls depredate significant numbers of Leach’s Storm-petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous) annually ...

Colony‐nesting gulls restrict activity levels of a native top carnivore during the breeding season
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Although nesting in colonies can offer substantial reproductive benefits for many seabird species, increased visibility to predators remains a significant disadvantage for most colony‐breeders.
