Revealing the foraging movements and diet of the White-faced Storm Petrel Pelagodroma marina in the NE Atlantic

Abstract: The White-faced Storm Petrel (WFSP) Pelagodroma marina has a widespread distribution, although virtually nothing is known about their feeding ecology and distributions at-sea. To describe their foraging areas, a total of 77 birds were equipped with 1 g-GPS loggers on Selvagem Grande, Madeira, Portugal (30° 09′ N, 15° 52′ W), during the 2018 and 2019 breeding seasons. We also assessed the diet of WFSP by analysing 17 faecal samples from chicks and 1 regurgitation from an adult using DNA metabarcoding techniques… Show more

“…We then modelled the positions using the “Solar/Satellite Geolocation for Animal Tracking (SGAT)” package (Lisovski et al ., 2012), applying Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations to refine the locations of the individuals, especially near the equinoxes (Halpin et al ., 2021). Within this package, we used a tolerance on the sine of the solar declination (tol) value of 0.3, and a mean speed of 10km/h in accordance with reference values obtained from the literature for White-faced Storm-petrels (Alho et al ., 2022).…”

“…Another little-known aspect of this species is its daily activity patterns at sea. During the incubation stage, birds are primarily nocturnal, while during chick-rearing, birds forage both day and night (Alho et al ., 2022). However, the daily activity patterns outside the breeding period have remained unknown so far.…”
