Thus, spatial and trophic competition can emerge, especially between related seabird species belonging to the same ecological guild. Here we studied the foraging ecology of two sympatric species\u2013brown booby (BRBO)<jats:italic>Sula leucogaster<\/jats:italic>(breeding) and red-footed boobies (RFBO)<jats:italic>Sula sula<\/jats:italic>(non-breeding)\u2013at Raso islet (Cabo Verde), across different seasons. Sexual segregation was only observed during Jun-Oct, when RFBO were present, with larger females BRBO remaining closer to the colonies, while males and RFBO travelled further and exploited different habitats. Overall, species appeared to prefer areas with specific oceanic features, particularly those related with oceanic currents and responsible for enhancing primary productivity in tropical oceanic areas (e.g. Sea Surface Height and Ocean Mixed Layer Thickness). Female BRBOs showed high foraging-site fidelity during the period of sympatry, while exploiting the same prey species as the other birds. However, during the months of co-existence (Jun.-Oct.), isotopic mixing models suggested that female BRBO would consume a higher proportion of epipelagic fish, whereas female RFBO would consume more squid compared to the other birds, possibly due to habitat-specific prey availability and breeding energy-constraints for BRBO. We conclude that divergent parental roles, environmental conditions, habitat preference and competition could be mechanisms simultaneously underlying sexual segregation for BRBO during a period of co-existence, while inter-specific foraging differences appear to be more affected by habitat preference and different breeding stages. These results support previous statements that BRBO can adapt their foraging ecology to different circumstances of environmental conditions and competition, and that marine physical features play an important role in foraging decisions of boobies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0253095","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,21]],"date-time":"2021-06-21T13:30:15Z","timestamp":1624282215000},"page":"e0253095","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Year-round at-sea distribution and trophic resources partitioning between two sympatric Sulids in the tropical Atlantic"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1302-3944","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nathalie","family":"Almeida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9533-987X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Jaime A.","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Isabel","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ivo","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jorge M.","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Diana M.","family":"Matos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Pedro M.","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Geraldes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Tommy","family":"Melo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Vitor H.","family":"Paiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0253095.ref001","article-title":"Competition for Food by a Phytophagous Mite","volume":"37","author":"C.
