At-sea distribution and scale-dependent foraging behaviour of petrels and albatrosses: a comparative study.
David Pinaud,Henri Weimerskirch +1 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that predators of several species adjust their foraging behaviour to the heterogeneous environment and these scale-dependent movement adjustments depend on both forager and environment characteristics.

Scale‐dependent habitat use in a long‐ranging central place predator
David Pinaud,Henri Weimerskirch +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the scales of interactions and habitat selection in a long-ranging marine predator foraging from a central place, the yellow-nosed albatross.

Spatial leave‐one‐out cross‐validation for variable selection in the presence of spatial autocorrelation
Kévin Le Rest,David Pinaud,Pascal Monestiez,Pascal Monestiez,Joël Chadoeuf,Vincent Bretagnolle +5 more
TL;DR: A special case of spatial cross-validation, spatial leave-one-out (SLOO), giving a criterion equivalent to the AIC in the absence of spatial autocorrelation is proposed, which appears to be a promising solution for selecting relevant variables from most ecological spatial datasets.

Quantifying search effort of moving animals at several spatial scales using first‐passage time analysis: effect of the structure of environment and tracking systems
TL;DR: Within limits, FPT analysis is highly suitable for animal movement analysis, either to quantify habitat use, or to determine the scale most relevant for describing an ecological system or factors affecting movement decisions.

Postnatal dispersal of wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans: implications for the conservation of the species
TL;DR: The complete overlap of the juveniles' foraging ranges with major long-line fisheries in the subtropical waters constitutes a major threat that could jeopardize the long term recovery ability of populations of the endangered wandering albatross in the Indian Ocean.
