Factors influencing Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) foraging movement patterns during the breeding season

During the breeding season, seabird foraging behaviors are driven by a combination of individual- and external-based factors. This study evaluated how two individual-based factors (body condition and sex) and two external factors (nest stage and colony size), and their interactions, were related to movement. To do so, we used movement data obtained from 22 GPS-tag-equipped Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis L., 1766) breeding in the northern...
