Beaubier, J. 2005. Thesis Proposal Summary. Forage fish quality and implications for rhinoceros auklet chick growth. University of British Columbia. Rhinoceros auklets breeding at Triangle Island provision their chicks with 4 main species of forage fish: pacific saury (Cololabis saira), pacific sand lance (Ammodytes hexapterus), juvenile rockfish (Sebastes spp.), and juvenile salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), supplemented with a variety of other, less utilized species. The relative composition of each species

M.C. Drever, L.K. Blight, K.A. Hobson, and D.F. Bertram Abstract: We used stable isotope techniques to analyze tissues of Keen’s mice (Peromyscus keeni) and Townsend’s voles (Microtus townsendii cowani) and a subset of prey items at Triangle Island, British Columbia, western Canada’s largest seabird colony. Isotope analysis allowed us to investigate the importance of seabird
