Sympatrically breeding congeneric seabirds (Stercorarius spp.) from Arctic Canada migrate to four oceans
Abstract Polar systems of avian migration remain unpredictable. For seabirds nesting in the Nearctic, it is often difficult to predict which of the world's oceans birds will migrate to after breeding. Here, we report on three related seabird species that migrated across four oceans following sy...

Abstract Polar systems of avian migration remain unpredictable.
