Behavioural flexibility in an Arctic seabird using two distinct marine habitats to survive the energetic constraints of winter

Abstract Background Homeothermic marine animals in Polar Regions face an energetic bottleneck in winter. The challenges of short days and cold temperatures are exacerbated for flying seabirds with small body size and limited fat stores. We use biologging approaches to examine how habitat, weather, a...
