Variation among colonies in breeding success and population trajectories of wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans at South Georgia
Abstract The wandering albatross, Diomedea exulans, is a globally threatened species breeding at a number of sites within the Southern Ocean. Across the South Georgia archipelago, there are differences in population trends even at closely located colonies. Between 1999 and 2018 the largest colony, a...
