  • Life Cost Strategy for Wild Animals Using Wearable Behavior Recording Devices and Telomere Measurement
    Mizutani Yuichi
    We investigated the effects of different foraging behaviors (mainly time spent foraging, distance away from nests, and total distance traveled) on the physiological load of wild petrels. Since sampling from the same individual gulls was interrupted by the restriction of human movements due to the declaration of a state of emergency, so we examined the relationship between oxidative stress, which represents the medium-term load, and behavior during the breeding season. We found that female gulls tended to increase the time and distance they spent foraging as the number of eggs per nest increased (i.e., their own egg laying increased). On the other hand, there was no increase in oxidative stress. This suggests that they compensate for the investment made by spawning by heading to the ocean to forage for natural food rich in antioxidants, along with nutrients., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, 2018/04 -2021/03, Grant-in-Aid for Early-Career Scientists, Nagoya University
