Seabirds are adapted to marine communities where prey concentrations are patchy and short-lived. Hydrographic events and physical properties of water masses combine to influence the distribution and abundance of lower trophic level prey organisms. These processes may also account for some, and occasionally most, of the variation in the abundance and distribution of seabirds. Seabird faunas have been related to sea-surface temperature (Murphy 1936, Bourne in Palmer 1962, Ashmole 197 1, Watson… CONTINUE READING
