Seabird density and predation on Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) in Allen Bay in 2010

Seabirds feed heavily on Arctic cod Boreogadus saida during the summer in the Canadian Arctic but little is known of the interactions among birds while foraging and the factors that drive feeding behaviour. The objective of this study was to describe the relationship between seabirds and Arctic cod in a productive feeding area distant from breeding colonies. Transect surveys were completed using standardized count protocols to determine the density of seabirds in Allen Bay, Cornwallis Island, Nunavut. Shore-based observation sites determined seabird foraging behaviour associated with the presence of schools and environmental variables. The density of birds (156 bird/km**2) was high compared to that of other locations in the Canadian Arctic. Several bird species were more active early in the morning and with winds from the south, possibly due to an increase in Arctic cod feeding on zooplankton at the surface. Northern fulmars Fulmarus glacialis and black-legged kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla captured Arctic cod directly from the water; however, they lost nearly 25% of captures to glaucous gulls Larus hyperboreus and parasitic jaegers Stercorarius parasiticus. These kleptoparasitic seabirds benefited the most in Allen Bay obtaining as much as 8 times more Arctic cod than species capturing cod directly. Northern fulmars captured 3 times more Arctic cod from schools, and black-legged kittiwakes captured similar proportions of schooling and non-schooling cod. We conclude that non-schooling Arctic cod are as important as schooling cod as an energy source for seabirds in nearshore areas, such as Allen Bay, during the summer.

A cidade cartão-postal no cinema de Woody Allen

Este trabalho examina a representação das cidades na obra de Woody Allen. No intuito de compreender a saída do cineasta patrimônio da cidade de Nova York para a Europa, retoma-se criticamente a questão da Era da Lista Negra, das runaway productions e dos blockbusters. Para analisar os filmes de Allen na Europa considera-se importante entender como a cidade de Nova York configura-se no início da carreira do diretor, notadamente, em filmes que estabelecem um contraponto entre o Brooklyn e Manhattan. Em seguida, examina-se a questão crítica fundamental do trabalho: o cartão-postal corporativo na Europa. Nesse sentido, propõe-se a análise dos cartões-postais de Barcelona, Paris e Roma. O filme Vicky Cristina Barcelona adquire centralidade nesta pesquisa por apresentar de maneira exemplar a paisagem postiça da cidade encarcerada sob intervenção corporativa.
