... these effects. We therefore simulated albatross-like and elephant seal-like tracks. These two species were chosen because they represent two extremes in animal speed and in Argos track qualities ( Tremblay et al.,2006 ). The use of electronic devices to track animal movement has provided detailed...

... analyses of marine vertebrates. In a fluid marine environment,characterized by curvilinear structures, linearly interpolated track data are not realistic. Based on these two facts, we interpolated tracking data from albatrosses, penguins, boobies, sea lions, fur seals and elephant seals using six...

...Gabrielle Nevitt; Keith Reid; Phil Trathan SUMMARY Procellariiform seabirds (petrels, albatrosses and shearwaters) forage over thousands of square kilometres for patchily distributed prey resources. While these birds are known for their large olfactory bulbs and excellent sense of smell, how...

...R. M. Bevan; A. J. Woakes; P. J. Butler; I. L. Boyd ABSTRACT Heart rates ( f H ) and rates of oxygen consumption were measured in eight black-browed albatrosses ( Diomedea melanophrys ) when walking on a treadmill, with the aim of using f H to predict in free-ranging albatrosses. The resulting...
