  abstract = {{S}patio-temporally stable prey distributions coupled with individual foraging site fidelity are predicted to favour individual resource specialisation. {C}onversely, predators coping with dynamic prey distributions should diversify their individual diet and/or shift foraging areas to increase net intake. {W}e studied individual specialisation in {S}copoli's shearwaters ({C}alonectris diomedea) from the highly dynamic {W}estern {M}editerranean, using daily prey distributions together with resource selection, site fidelity and trophic-level analyses. {A}s hypothesised, we found dietary diversification, low foraging site fidelity and almost no individual specialisation in resource selection. {C}rucially, shearwaters switched daily foraging tactics, selecting areas with contrasting prey of varying trophic levels. {O}verall, information use and plastic resource selection of individuals with reduced short-term foraging site fidelity allow predators to overcome prey field lability. {O}ur study is an essential step towards a better understanding of individual responses to enhanced environmental stochasticity driven by global changes, and of pathways favouring population persistence.},
