Abstract

Climate change results in a broad range of changes in animals including physiological responses, predator-prey relations, and feeding tactics. In this chapter we explore the impact of changes in sea surface temperature on egg cannibalism, a feeding tactic used by gulls. We use logistic regression and information-theoretic methods of model selection in the assessment of this tactic. This chapter provides background for empirical and theoretical analyses highlighted in the much of the remainder of the book. The original publication of this research appeared in The Condor: Ornithological Applications in 2014, by senior authors James Hayward, Lynelle Weldon, and Shandelle Henson, and student authors Libby Megna, Brianna Payne, and Andre Moncrieff [37].
