Distribution and movement patterns are described for summering (nonbreeding) Black Guillemots in the Deer Island region of the southwestern Bay of Fundy, Canada. Guillemots were distributed in areas with moderate current velocities (range, 30–68 cm/s) and shallow to intermediate depths (range, 17–31 m). The birds appeared to avoid shallow and deep areas with fast- or slow-moving water. Guillemots preferred islands with extensive underwater ledges, presumably because these harboured sufficient prey and provided protection from fast-moving tidal waters. Guillemots moved in and out of the approaches passively with the tide and, in contrast to larids in the region, made only small-scale flights to reposition themselves in relation to food resources.

Abstract. Sea turtles are migratory animals that travel long distances between their feeding and breeding grounds. Traditional methods for researching sea turtle migratory behavior have important disadvantages, and the development of alternatives would enhance our ability to monitor and manage these globally endangered species. Here we report on the isotope signatures in green sea-turtle (Chelonia mydas) barnacles (Platylepas sp.) and discuss their potential relevance as tools with which to study green sea turtle migration and habitat use patterns. We analyzed oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotope ratios in barnacle calcite layers from specimens collected from green turtles captured at the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (PANWR) in the central Pacific. Carbon isotopes were not informative in this study. However, the oxygen isotope results suggest likely regional movement patterns when mapped onto a predictive oxygen isotope map of the Pacific. Barnacle proxies could therefore complement other methods in understanding regional movement patterns, informing more effective conservation policy that takes into account connectivity between populations.
