Navigation in Procellariiform seabirds by Padget, O

“…First, to investigate whether the mechanisms involved in homing pigeon navigation might also guide Procellariiform seabirds over the ocean. Second, to establish whether GPS-tracked, free-ranging Procellariiform seabirds might be able to offer insights into avian navigational mechanisms. …”

Celestial moderation of tropical seabird behavior. by Patrick Pinet, Audrey Jaeger, Emmanuel Cordier, Gaël Potin, Matthieu Le Corre

“…Using miniaturized light sensors, we simultaneously investigated under natural conditions the influence of photoperiod and moon phases on the migration dates and at-sea activity of a tropical seabird species, the Barau's petrel, throughout its annual cycle. …”

Evidence of tool use in a seabird by Fayet, A, Hansen, E, Biro, D

“…Second, we expand the taxonomic breadth of tool use to include another group of birds, seabirds, and a different suborder (Lari). Third, our independent observations span a distance of more than 1,700 km, suggesting that occasional tool use may be widespread in this group, and that seabirds’ physical cognition may have been underestimated.…”

Comparative tests of ectoparasite species richness in seabirds by Page Roderic DM, Hughes Joseph

“…</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The comparative analysis presented herein is (to our knowledge) the first to test correlates of parasite species richness in seabirds. We believe that the comparative data and phylogeny provide a valuable framework for testing future evolutionary hypotheses relating to the diversity and distribution of parasites on seabirds.…”
