Learning on the job? Foraging strategies of juvenile versus adult Lesser black-backed gulls at their first migratory stopover

Learning on the job? Foraging strategies of juvenile versus adult Lesser black-backed gulls at their first migratory stopover

Developing efficient foraging strategies is critical for survival, especially during the high-mortality post-fledging period in birds. This period is particularly challenging for migratory species, where juveniles must navigate unfamiliar environments with limited experience and knowledge. Our study...
