Leach's storm-petrels prey on lower mesopelagic (Mysidacea and Decapoda) crustaceans: possible implications for crustacean and avian distributions
Three species of rarely collected lower mesopelagic crustaceans (the mysid Eucopia grimaldii, and the decapods Sergestes arcticus and Hymenodora gracilis) were found in regurgitated parental food delivered to a breeding colony of Leach's storm-petrels off southern Newfoundland (46°53'N 56°...
