Seascapes of fear and competition shape regional seabird movement ecology
N. Courbin, L. Pichegru, et al.
This fascinating study by Nicolas Courbin and colleagues reveals how the Cape gannet adapts its movements in response to the fear of predators and competition from fisheries in the Benguela marine ecosystem. By shifting to offshore areas at night, gannets demonstrate the profound impact of predation risk on their ecology, providing critical insights for marine protected area design.
