Olfactory foraging in temperate waters: sensitivity to dimethylsulfide of shearwaters in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea
International audience Many procellariiforms use olfactory cues to locate food patches over the seemingly featureless ocean surface. In particular, some of them are able to detect and are attracted by dimethylsulphide (DMS), a volatile compound naturally occurring over worldwide oceans in correspond...
