Progressive ontogenetic niche shift over the prolonged immaturity period of wandering albatrosses by Alice Carravieri, Henri Weimerskirch, Paco Bustamante, Yves Cherel

“…By using blood and feather trophic tracers (δ13C and δ15N, and mercury, Hg), we studied age-related changes in feeding ecology during the immature phase of wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans when they gradually change from a pure oceanic life to visits to their future breeding grounds. …”

Evidence for sex-segregated ocean distributions of first-winter wandering albatrosses at Crozet islands. by Susanne Åkesson, Henri Weimerskirch

“…The highly mobile wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) are adapted to navigate the extreme environment of the Southern Ocean and return to isolated islands to breed. …”

Age-related variation in foraging behaviour in the wandering albatross at South Georgia: no evidence for senescence. by Hannah Froy, Sue Lewis, Paulo Catry, Charles M Bishop, Isaac P Forster, Akira Fukuda, Hiroyoshi Higuchi, Ben Phalan, Jose C Xavier, Daniel H Nussey, Richard A Phillips

“…We examine age-related variation in the foraging behaviour of a long-lived, wide-ranging oceanic seabird, the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans. Using miniaturised tracking technologies, we compared foraging trip characteristics of birds breeding at Bird Island, South Georgia. …”

Impact and control of feral cats preying on wandering albatrosses: Insights from a field experiment by Pierrick Blanchard, Karine Delord, Aymeric Bodin, Kevin Guille, Tobie Getti, Christophe Barbraud

“…We examined this new predator–prey system by individually monitoring known‐age wandering albatross chicks with camera traps in a colony experimentally divided into zones with and without cat control. …”

Protein Deimination and Extracellular Vesicle Profiles in Antarctic Seabirds by Richard A. Phillips, Igor Kraev, Sigrun Lange

Subjects: “…antarctic seabirds (wandering albatross (<i>diomedea exulans</i>), grey-headed albatross (<i>thalassarche chrysostoma</i>), black-browed albatross (<i>thalassarche melanophris</i>), northern giant petrel (<i>macronectes halli</i>), southern giant petrel (<i>macronectes giganteus</i>), white-chinned petrel (<i>procellaria aequinoctialis</i>), brown skua (<i>stercorarius antarcticus</i>), south polar skua (<i>stercorarius maccormicki</i>))…”

Causes and consequences of pair-bond disruption in socially monogamous species by Sun, Ruijiao

“…Widowhood rates are male-biased due to lower survival rates of females in wandering albatrosses. In both wandering albatross and snow petrel, remaining single after a pair-bond disruption results in a reduction in individual lifetime reproductive success due to missed breeding seasons. …”

The influence of parental relatedness on reproductive success. by Amos, W, Wilmer, J, Fullard, K, Burg, T, Croxall, J, Bloch, D, Coulson, T

“…Examination of three long-lived vertebrates, the long-finned pilot whale, the grey seal and the wandering albatross reveals significant negative relationships between parental similarity and genetic estimates of reproductive success. …”

Imaging the Climate Crisis. The Ceramic Art of Horie, Galloway, Snider, and Rhymer-Zwierciadlowska by Mary Ann STEGGLES

“…Galloway was so shocked at the decapitation of the Wandering Albatross and its near extinction that she set about to create classical funerary urns to draw attention to the endangered species of New England. …”

The effects of spatially heterogeneous prey distributions on detection patterns in foraging seabirds. by Octavio Miramontes, Denis Boyer, Frederic Bartumeus

“…However, Poissonian detection statistics is not observed in long-range seabirds such as the wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) due to the fractal nature of the prey field, covering a wide range of spatial scales. …”

Scaling of soaring seabirds and implications for flight abilities of giant pterosaurs. by Katsufumi Sato, Kentaro Q Sakamoto, Yutaka Watanuki, Akinori Takahashi, Nobuhiro Katsumata, Charles-André Bost, Henri Weimerskirch

“…The largest extant soarer, the wandering albatross, weighs about 12 kg, which might be a pragmatic limit to maintain a safety margin for sustainable flight and to survive in a variable environment.…”

Dynamic Soaring in Finite-Thickness Wind Shears: an Asymptotic Solution by Bousquet, Gabriel David Elie Sylvain, Triantafyllou, Michael S, Slotine, Jean-Jacques E

“…While the model validity increases with wing loading, it appears to constitute an accurate description down to wing loadings as low as 4kg/m[superscript 2] for oceanic boundary layer soaring, a third that of the wandering albatross.…”

Albatrosses and petrels at South Georgia as sentinels of marine debris input from vessels in the southwest Atlantic Ocean by Richard A. Phillips, Claire M. Waluda

“…Although some debris types were common in all species, wandering albatrosses and giant petrels ingested higher proportions that were food-related or generic wrapping, gloves, clear or mixed colour, and packaged in South America. …”
