Comparing foraging trip characteristics between capelin availability periods (low, high) for all great black-backed gull during June-August 2018 in coastal Newfoundland for all individuals combined (boxplot with median indicated by the horizontal line), as well as for each individual separately (mean of each individual indicated by color).

Trip characteristics included a) mean distance from shore (km); b) mean distance from colony (km); c) total trip length (km). Asterisks indicate significance level (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001). Note that LMG03 and LMG07 were not tracked during the high capelin availability period and that y-axes differ by panel.
