Data from: Combined measurements of prey availability explain habitat selection in foraging seabirds ...
Understanding links between habitat characteristics and foraging efficiency help to predict how environmental change could influence populations of top-predators. This study examines whether measurements of prey (clupeids) availability varied over stratification gradients, and determined if any of t...
