Marine ecology near Tufted Puffin colonies across the Aleutian Archipelago and Alaska Peninsula, 2012-2014
September 17, 2018
In the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea between August 2012-2014, data were collected on sea surface temperature and salinity data, marine bird and mammal surveys, hydroacoustic backscatter data, marine environment surrounding Tufted Puffin colonies, and body condition and diets of Tufted Puffin chicks.

Avian predator buffers against variability in marine habitats with flexible foraging behavior
How well seabirds compensate for variability in prey abundance and composition near their breeding colonies influences their distribution and reproductive success. We used tufted puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) as forage fish samplers to study marine food webs from the western Aleutian Islands (53°N, 173°E) to Kodiak Island (57°N, 153°W), Alaska, during August 2012–2014. Around each colony we obtain
