- That information could potentially shed light on whether physiological constraints, rather than strategic adjustments, are most important in limiting egg production in murres and other long-lived seabirds.
- Thus, it is likely that food-shortages during the El-Nino of 1997-98 resulted in an increase in corticosterone secretion that directly caused the abandonment of eggs and young chicks by murres.
- In the early 19th century, fur traders wiped out its seals; during the Gold Rush, a lucrative and larcenous trade in seabird eggs killed millions of common murres.
- However, female murres also laid earlier as they increased in age up to eight years old.

- Many shorebirds and seabirds are found here, including rhinoceros auklet, Brandt's cormorants, and all manner of gulls, puffins, petrels, murres, and more.

- It does untold damage to the numerous pelagic seabirds indigenous to the area: murres, puffins and gannets.
- By interspersing glides, murres in the model were able to regulate their mean descent speed without altering muscle contraction speed or load.
- Thick-billed murres are arctic seabirds that breed at high densities on cliff ledges, where they lay a single egg without constructing a nest.
- Here, we use data collected on the diet of an Arctic-breeding seabird, the thick-billed murre, to infer changes in fish populations in northern Hudson Bay over the past two decades.
- We examined the consequences of natal dispersal on the reproductive success (proportion of pairs rearing chicks) of colonial-breeding Thick-billed murres.
- Our evidence from the diet of nestling thick-billed murres suggests that a switch from an Arctic to a Subarctic fish community occurred from 1997 onwards.
- Penguins, cormorants, murres, and guillemots - all pursuit divers - have, among seabirds, the heaviest eggshells as a percentage of whole-egg weight.
- However, 93% of the murres identified were Thick-billed Murres.
