Applying High-resolution GPS Tracking to Characterize Sensory Foraging Strategies of the Black-browed Albatross, a Top Predator of the Southern Ocean Ecosystem
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
We collected GPS tracks and stomach temperature records from Blackbrowed Albatross from a breeding colony at "Canon des Sourcils Noirs" on Kerguelen Island for the purpose of analyzing their flight patterns with regard to foraging events.
Description
We found that most birds regurgitated their stomach temperature pill transmitters early on in their trip. The GPS tracks do show their overall foraging flight patterns and include events that are characteristic of olfactory foraging such as upwind turns and zigzagging flight.
