Abstract Abstract Individuals do not have complete information about the environment and therefore they face a trade?off between gathering information (exploration) and gathering resources (exploitation). Studies have shown individual differences in components of this trade?off but how stable these strategies are in a population and the intrinsic drivers of these differences is not well understood. Top marine predators are expected to experience a particularly strong trade?off as many species have large foraging ranges and their prey often have a patchy distribution. This environment leads these species to exhibit pronounced exploration and exploitation phases but differences between individuals are poorly resolved. Personality differences are known to be important in foraging behaviour but also in the trade?off between exploration and exploitation. Here we test whether personality predicts an individual exploration?exploitation strategy using wide ranging wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) as a model system. Using GPS tracking data from 276 wandering albatrosses, we extract foraging parameters indicative of exploration (searching) and exploitation (foraging) and show that foraging effort, time in patch and size of patch are strongly correlated, demonstrating these are indicative of an exploration?exploitation (EE) strategy. Furthermore, we show these are consistent within individuals and appear stable in the population, with no reproductive advantage. The searching and foraging behaviour of bolder birds placed them towards the exploration end of the trade?off, whereas shy birds showed greater exploitation. This result provides a mechanism through which individual foraging strategies may emerge. Age and sex affected components of the trade?off, but not the trade?off itself, suggesting these factors may drive behavioural compensation to maintain resource acquisition and this was supported by the evidence that there were no fitness consequence of any EE trait nor the trade?off itself. These results demonstrate a clear trade?off between information gathering and exploitation of prey patches, and reveals for the first time that boldness may drive these differences. This provides a mechanism through which widely reported links between personality and foraging may emerge.

Title Reproductive success is driven by local site fidelity despite stronger specialisation by individuals for large?scale habitat preference Type Journal
Year 2017 Publication Journal of Animal Ecology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 86 Issue 3 Pages 674-682
Keywords black?browed albatross foraging niche width generalist intra?individual variability seabirds
Abstract Summary There is widespread evidence that within populations, specialists and generalists can coexist and this is particularly prevalent in marine ecosystems, where foraging specialisations are evident. While individuals may limit niche overlap by consistently foraging in specific areas, site fidelity may also emerge as an artefact of habitat choice, but both drivers and fitness consequences of site fidelity are poorly understood. Here, we examine an individual metric of site and habitat fidelity, using tracking data collected over 11 years for black?browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris). Fidelity was calculated as the similarity between pairs of foraging zones, quantifying measures for within and between years. Foraging areas were identified using area?restricted search, defined as periods during which birds decrease speed and increase turning. Our results demonstrate that birds were considerably more specialised in the habitat in which they forage than the exact location they use within years, and there was a similar pattern between years. However, despite this, it was site fidelity that explained reproductive success. Within a single year, females which were more faithful to a specific location had higher reproductive success than non?specialists, and between years there was a tendency for both sexes. Our results suggest that black?browed albatrosses are highly faithful in their foraging habitat but it is rather site fidelity that is more clearly associated with reproductive success.

Title Evidence of reduced individual heterogeneity in adult survival of long?lived species Type Journal
Year 2016 Publication Evolution Abbreviated Journal
Volume 70 Issue 12 Pages 2909-2914
Keywords Capture?recapture comparative analyses individual differences life?history evolution mixture models random?effect models vertebrates
Abstract The canalization hypothesis postulates that the rate at which trait variation generates variation in the average individual fitness in a population determines how buffered traits are against environmental and genetic factors. The ranking of a species on the slow?fast continuum ? the covariation among life?history traits describing species?specific life cycles along a gradient going from a long life, slow maturity, and low annual reproductive output, to a short life, fast maturity, and high annual reproductive output ? strongly correlates with the relative fitness impact of a given amount of variation in adult survival. Under the canalization hypothesis, long?lived species are thus expected to display less individual heterogeneity in survival at the onset of adulthood, when reproductive values peak, than short?lived species. We tested this life?history prediction by analysing long?term time series of individual?based data in nine species of birds and mammals using capture?recapture models. We found that individual heterogeneity in survival was higher in species with short?generation time (< 3 years) than in species with long generation time (> 4 years). Our findings provide the first piece of empirical evidence for the canalization hypothesis at the individual level from the wild.

Title Swarm and ESR observations of the ionospheric response to a field?aligned current system in the high?latitude midnight sector Type Journal
Year 2015 Publication Geophysical Research Letters Abbreviated Journal
Volume 42 Issue 11 Pages 4270-4279
Keywords field?aligned currents ionosphere
Abstract Abstract We present a conjunction between the Swarm fleet and the European Incoherent Scatter Svalbard Radar (ESR) on 9 January 2014. The Swarm orbit in the early phase of the mission gives us the unique opportunity of sequencing the temporal evolution of the observed field?aligned current system in the nightside, near magnetic local midnight. These field?aligned currents are seen to move poleward through the radar field of view and to affect the observed ionosphere. The upward field?aligned current (FAC) is responsible, at least in part, for the heating of the ionospheric electrons. It is less clear whether the downward FAC cools the ionosphere. We use the TRANSCAR model of the ionosphere to quantify the thermoelectric effect that comes into play. Finally, we compare the plasma parameters measured by the Langmuir probe on board Swarm and the ESR and conclude on an agreement within the errors.

Title 167 individuals versus millions of hooks: bycatch mitigation in longline fisheries underlies conservation of Amsterdam albatrosses Type Journal
Year 2016 Publication Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems Abbreviated Journal
Volume 26 Issue 4 Pages 674-688
Keywords birds distribution endangered species fishing island ocean tracking
Abstract Abstract 1. Industrial fisheries represent one of the most serious threats worldwide to seabird conservation. Death of birds in fishing operations (i.e. bycatch) has especially adverse effects on populations of albatrosses, which have extremely low fecundity. 2. The single population worldwide of Amsterdam albatross (Diomedea amsterdamensis) comprises only 167 individuals and risks considerable decline over the mid?term from additional mortality levels potentially induced by fisheries. The priority actions listed in the current conservation plan for this species included characterizing the longline fisheries operating within its range, dynamically analysing the overlap between albatrosses and these fisheries, and providing fisheries management authorities with potential impact estimates of longline fisheries on the Amsterdam albatross. 3. During all life?cycle stages and year quarters the birds overlapped extensively with fishing effort in the southern Indian and Atlantic oceans. Fishing effort, and consequently overlap score (calculated as the product of fishing effort and time spent by the birds in a spatial unit) was highest in July?September (45% of the hooks annually deployed). Just three fleets (Taiwanese, Japanese and Spanish) contributed to >98% of the overlap scores for each stage (72% from the Taiwanese fleet alone, on average). Daily overlap scores were higher for the non?breeding versus the breeding stages (3?fold factor on average). 4. Based on previous bycatch rates for other albatross species, this study estimated that longline fisheries currently have the potential to remove ~2?16 individuals (i.e. ~5%) each year from the total Amsterdam albatross population, depending on whether bycatch mitigation measures were or were not systematically employed during the fishing operations. 5. Recent bycatch mitigation measures may be instrumental in the conservation of the Amsterdam albatross. This study suggests three further key recommendations: (1) to focus conservation efforts on the austral winter; (2) to require all operating vessels to report ring recoveries; and (3) to allocate special regulation of fishing operations in the areas of peak bycatch risk for the Amsterdam albatrosses.
