摘要: Abstract We studied the diets, foraging strategies, and reproduction of Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) during five years at two colonies within Prince William Sound, Alaska. Years with reduced occurrence 1-year-old Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) in kittiwake diets were associated increased trip duration, distance, travel time both colonies. Foraging range was consistently greater large, fjord colony an annual mean duration 4 hr distance to farthest feeding location 40 km when dominated diets; these numbers a maximum 6 60 year kittiwakes consumed primarily young-of-year (YOY) sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus). trips small, island averaged 2 5 capelin (Mallotus villosus) YOY consumed. Consequenc...
