Abstract
AbstractI relate marine bird density to the 55 strongest thermal fronts encountered during a survey of much of the eastern portion of the California Current and the adjacent coastal upwelling region. Elevated densities were recorded for all marine bird taxa except the Leach's Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa). The variance explained by the regression models ranged from 3% for the Leach's Storm-Petrel to 85% for all marine birds. The response observed is notably stronger than previous analyses with similar data.
