Bio
My laboratory focuses on field studies of behavioral ecology, primarily in the area selection of foraging habitat. The majority of these studies use birds as model organisms, particularly seabirds in polar oceans. Two questions are under investigation: What physical and biological processes are important for determining where marine birds seek their prey? What determines between- and within-colony variation in reproductive performance?
The examination of foraging birds in relation to prey abundance and availability has been the focus of multidisciplinary shipboard studies of marine birds in the Arctic and Antarctic. Here, the emphasis has been on patch selection by birds. Patterns in the distribution and abundance of foraging seabirds have been compared with hydrographic structure and the distribution and abundance of prey as determined by high frequency echosounders and net hauls. In these studies we seek to identify the physical and biological processes that make prey available to predators. Studies planned and in progress include investigation of predator and prey distributions near the Pribilof Islands, Alaska, and avian use of marginal ice zones in Arctic waters.
