Changes in Wind Pattern Alter Albatross Distribution and Life-History Traits
International audience Westerly winds in the Southern Ocean have increased in intensity and moved poleward. Using long-term demographic and foraging records, we show that foraging range in wandering albatrosses has shifted poleward in conjunction with these changes in wind pattern, while their rates...
