Acknowledgments
Sincere thanks to William Montevecchi, John Chardine, and Gilles Chapdelaine for their willingness to discuss various aspects of the biology of the Northern Gannet and to share unpublished data and for their critical reviews of the manuscript. I also thank David Brewer, Brian Collins, Anthony Diamond, Antony Gaston, and Eric Woodsworth for sharing unpublished banding data; Sarah Wanless for sharing her current gannetry census data; Donald Kroodsma for help in writing the Sounds section; Suzanne Dorsey for help in preparing tables and figures; and Susan Taylor for her persistence in acquiring the essential literature. I am extremely grateful, as usual, to Alan Poole, Keith Russell, Louis Bevier, Christine Bush, and Sandra Sher-man, whose critical reviews and careful editing improved the quality of this account.
