Diving behaviour of benthic feeding Black Guillemots by Shoji, A, Elliott, KH, Greenwood, JG, McClean, L, Leonard, K, Perrins, CM, Fayet, A, Guilford, T

“…</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong> Black Guillemots' dive duration was similar to the value predicted from allometry, and is therefore likely representative of this species. Bathymetry likely influences the dive behaviour of this benthic-feeding species because most dives were U-shaped and dive depths were shallow, which is typical for the relatively shallow water where the birds were observed foraging.…”
