Early Bird Special: Quantifying Tiger Shark Predation on Albatross Fledglings at Kure Atoll
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Predators are often assumed to concentrate where prey are most abundant, but the most abundant prey may not be the easiest to catch. We studied tiger sharks hunting young albatross seabirds during an albatross fledging season at Kure Atoll, Hawaii. Surprisingly, sharks arrived and largely departed before fledgling numbers peaked and predation risk was ...
