Population biology and ecology of albatrosses on Macquarie Island : implications for conservation status ...
Four species of albatross breed on Macquarie Island, a small subantarctic island located halfway between Australia and Antarctica. Three of these species (Wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans), Black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed albatrosses (Thalassarche chrysosto...
