Food-provisioning behaviour of male and female Manx shearwaters, Puffinus puffinus
Article Abstract:
Research describing differences in chick feeding behavior between male and female Manx shearwaters is presented. It is shown that male shearwaters made a greater contribution to food provisioning than females which made longer trips away from the nest site.

Sex differences in provisioning rules and honest signaling of need in Manx shearwaters, Puffinus puffinus
Article Abstract:
A research is undertaken to test whether sex differences in provisioning rules occur in a species with an obligate brood size of one, the Manx shearwater, was conducted. The findings indicate that clicks conveyed information about their body condition through begging, but male and female parents responded differently to that information.
