Abstract: Common murres (Uria aalge) are expected to buffer activity budgets during poor conditions to compensate for low prey availability. However during a marine heatwave (2014-16) in the eastern North Pacific, we found that common murres nesting at Yaquina Head, Oregon, USA had near zero reprodu...
