By Alton Parrish III on | From nanopatentsandinnovations.blogspot.com
Wandering albatrosses have altered their foraging due to changes in wind fields in the southern hemisphere during the last decades. Since winds have increased in intensity and moved to the south, the flight speed of albatrosses increased and they spend less time foraging. As a consequence, breeding success has improved and birds have gained 1 kilogram. These are the results of the study of an international research team published in the latest issue of the Science journal. However, these...Read Full Story

The black-footed albatross (also like the Laysan albatross) breeds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It nests in colonies on Laysan Island, Midway Island, Kure Atoll, French Frigate Shoals...

The waved albatross breeds on Española Island in the Galapagos Island and spends the rest of the year at sea, foraging over the open ocean, off the coast of Peru and Ecuador. Due to its presence in the...
