Some Accipitrids also engage in kleptoparasitism, stealing food from other raptors. |
|
In roseate terns, kleptoparasitism is widespread, having been reported in England, Australia, Puerto Rico, and the United States. |
|
Generally, increasing predator density makes kleptoparasitism more attractive. |
|
On breeding grounds where the primary source of food is kleptoparasitism, territories are small and pairs nest in loose colonies. |
|
We recorded kleptoparasitism and predation by gulls by ad libitum, continuous sampling of the gridded area, including the air above it. |
|
However, kleptoparasitism by bald eagles, where the larger raptor steals the osprey's catch, is more common than predation. |
|
The waved albatross has been observed practising kleptoparasitism, harassing boobies to steal their food, making it the only member of its order to do so regularly. |
|
Kleptoparasitism is not thought to play a significant part of the diet of any species, and is instead a supplement to food obtained by hunting. |
