The feeding ecology of Dotterel Charadrius morinellus adults and chicks was studied on three Scottish breeding areas. On the basis of 2324 prey items identified from 234 faeces, we show that (i) birds feed selectively and (ii) age-related and seasona

Body mass loss is frequently observed in breeding birds: whether this is an adaptive response to a change in the relative value of body stores and locomotion performance or a consequence of energetic constraint is still in debate. The male alone care

Determining if, or when, individuals trade off time spent personally feeding against time spent monitoring others for kleptoparasitism opportunities is essential to an understanding of the evolution of scrounging and usurpation behaviours. We provide

Although group foragers have the potential to enhance their patch choice decisions by observing the sampling behaviour of competitors (i.e. using ‘public information’), empirical support for such an ability is sparse and conflicting. We examined

Summary 1 Individual variation in feeding rate in the absence of competitors (absolute feeding rate) and change in feeding rate in the presence of competitors (susceptibility to interference) are crucial parameters used in individual-based population
