Carotenoid-based skin ornaments reflect foraging propensity in a seabird, Sula leucogaster. [PDF]

Biol Lett, 2018
Carotenoid-based ornaments are common signalling features in animals. It has long been proposed that such ornaments communicate information about foraging abilities to potential mates. However, evidence linking foraging with ornamentation is largely missing from unmanipulated, free-ranging populations.

A ‘fish finder’ for birds? Route-dependent foraging behavior of the brown booby (Sula leucogaster) following a passenger ferry in the Ogasawara Islands, Japan [PDF]

PeerJ
While seabird associations with fishing vessels are well-documented, interactions with non-fishing vessels remain poorly understood. This study investigated the foraging behavior of the brown booby (Sula leucogaster) associated with a passenger ferry in ...

Year-round at-sea distribution and trophic resources partitioning between two sympatric Sulids in the tropical Atlantic. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
In the oligotrophic tropical marine environment resources are usually more patchily distributed and less abundant to top predators. Thus, spatial and trophic competition can emerge, especially between related seabird species belonging to the same ...

SURVIVAL OF BROWN BOOBIES (SULA LEUCOGASTER) AT JOHNSTON ATOLL: A LONG-TERM STUDY [PDF]

Auk, 2003
AbstractSurvival of Brown Boobies (Sula leucogaster) at Johnston Atoll was examined over a 17-year period using capture-mark-recapture analysis. Annual adult survival was estimated to be 0.90 ± 0.01 (SE). Variation in survival did not correspond to either local environmental fluctuation or more widespread disturbances associated with El Niño-Southern ...
