Knowing the association between seabirds, their prey and depth of the upper limit of the Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) along different space-temporal scales is essential for guaranteeing the sustainability of the ecosystem, and in particular, to understand the response from seabirds to the variability in marine processes. Nowadays acoustic cruises are performed along the Peruvian coast which collects information about the physics and biologic features in the Humboldt Current System (HCS). On the other hand we have information on seabird’s movement thanks to electronic tagging with GPS. Two methods are proposed to study associations between seabirds, their preys and the oxycline (Upper limit of the OMZ): As methodology applied consist in Ripley’s K function, which allow us to work with point data, and Generalized Linear Models (GLM) which allow us to work with continuous data from another perspective, and in both cases taking into account explicitly spatial-temporal scales. The first chapter describes the ecological context of this study, i.e. the HCS marine ecosystem. The second chapter presents the statistic theory underlying the Ripley’s k function as study tool of punctual processes and GLM. The geostatistic theory is also briefly reviewed before being used in data base processing of the next chapter. The third chapter explains how is obtained the data and its processing, how are combined the databases using spatial-temporal scales, and the final variables used in the two methods proposed for each scale. Later, the results are presented for each spatial-temporal scale. Finally, the results are compared and evaluated statistically, as well as their contribution in ecology.
