Remotely-sensed wind speed predicts soaring behaviour in a wide-ranging pelagic seabird

Global wind patterns affect flight strategies in many birds, including pelagic seabirds, many of which use wind-powered soaring to reduce energy costs during at-sea foraging trips and migration. Such long-distance movement patterns are underpinned by local interactions between wind conditions and fl...
