Shearwater foraging in the Southern Ocean : the roles of prey availability and winds

Combines tracking data from sooty and short-tailed shearwaters from three regions of New Zealand and Australia with at-sea observations of shearwaters in the Southern Ocean, physical oceanography, near surface copepod distributions, pelagic trawl data, and synoptic near-surface winds. Discusses the...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Combines tracking data from sooty and short-tailed shearwaters from three regions of New Zealand and Australia with at-sea observations of shearwaters in the Southern Ocean, physical oceanography, near surface copepod distributions, pelagic trawl data, and synoptic near-surface winds. Discusses the utility of shearwaters as indicators of Southern Ocean ecosystems.
