TIMING OF FORAGING BY THE WANDERING ALBATROSS DIOMEDEA EXULANS (14th Symposium on Polar Biology)
Deployment of devices which record timing and magnitude of food ingestion in two wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans at sub-Antarctic Marion Island shows that feeding occurred both at night and during the day, but with most ingestion events (70%) occurring during daylight hours. Seventy-six per c...
