Further observations on the cephalopod diet of Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans L.) at Macquarie Island
I found 18 cephalopod species, identified from their lower beaks, in stomachs and nest materials of Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) at Macquarie Island during the 1970s. Squid occurred in all samples, no fish remains were found. Species of cephalopod that dominated a previous study were als...
