Geolocation and immersion loggers reveal year‐round residency and facilitate nutrient deposition rate estimation of adult red‐footed boobies in the Chagos Archipelago, tropical Indian Ocean

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2024, Issue 9-10, September/October 2024.
Bio‐logging has revealed much about high‐latitude seabird migratory strategies, but migratory behaviour in tropical species may differ, with implications for understanding nutrient deposition. Here we use combined light‐level and saltwater immersion loggers to study the year‐round movement behaviour of adult red‐footed boobies Sula sula rubripes from ...

Weaving feathers of intangible and tangible knowledge: Historical records and human‐bird interactions in the Marquesas Islands

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 275-297, July 2024.
Abstract Birds fulfilled an essential role in ancient Polynesian cultures. They were prized for their bones and colourful feathers, fat, and protein; their cultural importance is further highlighted in Polynesian oral histories. This research investigates the dynamics of human‐bird interactions over time in the Marquesas Archipelago as known from ...

Monitoring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in avian blood: development of a quick analytical HPLC approach and pilot application to Brown boobies (Sula leucogaster) in Southeastern Brazil

Frontiers in Marine Science
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic, carcinogenic organic contaminants widely distributed throughout the marine environment, directly affecting marine life and human health. Surveying these compounds in sentinel organisms, such as seabirds,

Recent Status of Inanba-Jima, the Northernmost Breeding Ground of Brown Boody Sula leucogaster

Japanese Journal of Ornithology, 1973
Formerly O. L. AUSTIN Jr, reported (1949) a colony of some two hundred Brown Boobies on Inanba-Jima, Izu Is.Unfortunately this rocky islet had been used by the U.S. Air Force for excercises. In 1955, Dr. YAMASHINA and KURODA observed only few individuals.The author observed 35 adult Brown Boobies on Inanba-Jima in August 1973 but can't be seen young ...

Inter-Island Variability in Trace Elements and Trophic Ecology of Brown Booby (Sula Leucogaster) in the South Atlantic

Environmental Pollution
This study investigates essential (Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Se, Ni) and non-essential (Li, Be, Cr, Rb, Sr, Cs, Cd, Sn, Ba, and Pb) element concentrations and stable isotope (δ13C, δ15N, δ34S) compositions in feathers of Brown Boobies (Sula leucogaster) from three distinct Atlantic islands: the Archipelagos of Saint Peter and Saint Paul (SPSP), Abrolhos,
