Relationship between reversed sexual dimorphism, breeding investment and foraging ecology in a pelagic seabird, the masked booby

Reversed sexual dimorphism (RSD) may be related to different roles in breeding investment and/or foraging, but little information is available on foraging ecology. We studied the foraging behaviour and parental investment by male and female masked boobies, a species with RSD, by combining studies of...
