Fishing in the dark: a pursuit-diving seabird modifies foraging behaviour in response to nocturnal light levels.
Visual predators tend not to hunt during periods when efficiency is compromised by low light levels. Yet common murres, a species considered a diurnal visual predator, frequently dive at night. To study foraging of murres under different light conditions, we used a combination of archival tagging me...
