Disentangling the influence of taxa, behaviour and debris ingestion on seabird mortality
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Marine debris is a growing threat to hundreds of marine animal species. To understand the consequences of marine debris to wildlife populations, studies must go beyond reporting the incidence of wildlife and debris interactions and aim to quantify the ...

Plastic ingestion is an underestimated cause of death for southern hemisphere albatrosses
Conservation Letters, 2021 Albatrosses are among the world's most imperiled vertebrates, with 73% of species threatened with extinction. Ingestion of plastic is a well‐recognized threat among three North Pacific species, but lesser known in the southern hemisphere, where it is ...

The past and future role of conservation science in saving biodiversity
Conservation Letters, 2020 Global biodiversity losses continue despite tremendous growth in the volume of conservation science and many local successes. Research that can achieve conservation science's aims—arresting declines in biodiversity and preventing extinctions—is therefore

Numerical Investigation on Aerodynamic Performance of Bird’s Airfoils [PDF]
Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2020 In this work, the aerodynamic performance of four types of bird’s airfoils (eagle, stork, hawk, and albatross) at low Reynolds number and a range of angles of attack during fixed (unflapping) gliding flight was numerically investigated utilizing open ...

Disentangling the Influence of Three Major Threats on the Demography of an Albatross Community
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Climate change, fisheries and invasive species represent three pervasive threats to seabirds, globally. Understanding the relative influence and compounding nature of marine and terrestrial threats on the demography of seabird communities is vital for ...

Wind field and sex constrain the flight speeds of central-place foraging albatrosses [PDF]
, 2009 By extracting energy from the highly dynamic wind and wave fields that typify pelagic habitats, albatrosses are able to proceed almost exclusively by gliding flight.
