Inter-colony comparison of diving behavior of an Arctic top predator: implications for warming in the Greenland Sea.

The article discusses a study on the effect of diverse oceanographic conditions and prey communities on the foraging behavior of little auks Alle alle in Greenland Sea. The study used time-depth recorders to compare the diving behavior and time allocation of little auks breeding adjacent to the East Greenland Current (EGC), the Sørkapp Current (SC), and West Spitsbergen Current (WSC). The study found that EGC is a favorable foraging environment than WSC and SC.
