Project description
By using GPS tracking technologies and behavioural experiments, this project aims to reveal the unknown story of foraging strategies in Lesser black-backed gulls, from the development of foraging behaviour and the influence of early life, to the sources of individual variation and the consequences on the reproductive success, in a context of global changes.
