Erratum to: Sex-specific macronutrient foraging strategies in a highly successful marine predator: the Australasian gannet

Abstract

Unfortunately, the second research question was incorrectly published in the "Introduction" and "Results" sections of the original article. The correct question is given below. Do female and male Australasian gannets target different prey combinations? The online version of the original article can be found under

Individual Spatial Consistency and Dietary Flexibility in the Migratory Behavior of Northern Gannets Wintering in the Northeast Atlantic

“…Differences in energetic demands over the breeding season may also lead to variation in body condition (Moe et al, 2002) but all individuals in this study were sampled during the chick provisioning period. Sex-linked differences in scaled mass have been observed previously in Northern gannets and may reflect the differing physiological demands of reproduction, and breeding role specialization, as well as more subtle differences between the sexes in prey-capture techniques, nutritional requirements and fine-scale habitat and prey selection (Stauss et al, 2012;Cleasby et al, 2015;Machovsky-Capuska et al, 2016;Bodey et al, 2018b). The difference in scaled mass between individuals at Grassholm and Bass Rock may reflect variation in the prey resources and environmental conditions accessible to individuals from their respective colonies.…”
