TL;DR: It is found that northern gannets, satellite-tracked from 12 neighboring colonies, nonetheless forage in largely mutually exclusive areas and that these colony-specific home ranges are determined by density-dependent competition.

TL;DR: A suite of phylogenetically controlled meta‐analyses on a dataset comprising more than 450 published effect sizes across 214 different studies found small but significant negative effects of tagging on survival, reproduction, parental care and the tradeoff between these negative effects and the advances gained through the use of biologgers.

TL;DR: It is suggested that widespread individual foraging consistency may represent specialisation and be linked with individual responses to environmental conditions, and divergent searching behaviour could provide a mechanism by which consistent foraging behaviour arises and is maintained among animals that forage across large spatial scales.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that site familiarity, accrued early in-life, causes IFSF by canalizing subsequent foraging decisions, with far-reaching consequences for attempts to understand and conserve these animals in a rapidly changing environment.

TL;DR: The challenges associated with campaigns to eradicate invasive mammals from islands inhabited by humans and domestic animals are reviewed and a close collaboration between island communities, managers, and social scientists is recommended to increase the probability of achieving and maintaining an island permanently free of invasive mammals.
