Wind field and sex constrain the flight speeds of central‐place foraging albatrosses (2009, background): “For example, Wandering Albatrosses breeding in the Crozet Islands (468250 S, 518590 E) exploit large-scale semi-persistent wind patterns to make long, looping trips, avoiding headwind flight (Jouventin and Weimerskirch 1990, Weimerskirch et al. 2000b).”
Impacts of climatic anomalies on provisioning strategies of a Southern Ocean predator (2006, background): “…pup growth rates for Arctocephalus tropicalis pups at Amsterdam Island, while studies of other top predators, such as the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans (Weimerskirch et al. 2000) have highlighted, the importance of regularity in provisioning rates in explaining offspring growth performance.”
Marine Birds and Climate Fluctuation in the North Atlantic (2005, background): “Long-lived species tend to adjust their expenditure on parental care to balance benefits to the offspring against costs to the parents, thus maximizing individual fitness (Williams 1966; Erikstad et al. 1998; Weimerskirch et al. 2000b).”
Influences of sex, sex composition of brood and hatching order on mass growth in common terns Sterna hirundo (2003, background): “…(Anderson et al. 1993), lesser blackbacked gulls Larus fuscus (Griffiths 1992), blue-footed boobies Sula nebouxii (Torres and Drummond 1999), European shags Phalacrocorax aristotelis (Velando et al. 2000; Daunt et al. 2001) and wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans (Weimerskirch et al. 2000).”
Predictors of Juvenile Survival in Birds (2013, methodology): “Some researchers have used individual ANOVAs (t-tests) to assess predictors of juvenile survival (e.g., Weimerskirch et al. 2000).”
Functional significance of sexual dimorphism in wandering albatrosses, Diomedea exulans (2001, methodology): “Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 15, 203‐210 mass at fledging (10·5 kg in males and 9·3 kg in females; Weimerskirch et al. 2000a ), thus we would expect wing loading to be higher in chicks than adults (Table 2). If we reduce chick mass to the observed mass at fledging, wing loading decreases”
Lifetime foraging patterns of the wandering albatross: Life on the move! (2014, methodology): “The wing length of juveniles when they fledge is longer than that of adults (Weimerskirch et al., 2000a), which is probably as an adaptation to these calmer conditions, giving them better flight abilities in the calmer sub-tropical waters (Shaffer et al., 2001).”
Postnatal dispersal of wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans: implications for the conservation of the species (2006, methodology): “They were sexed by measurements taken at fledging using a discriminant analysis ( Weimerskirch et al. 2000b ); sex was confirmed in 2002 using a molecular sexing method (Weimerskirch et al. 2005).”
Influence of environmental variability on breeding effort in a long-lived seabird, the yellow-nosed albatross (2001, background): “When foraging costs are experimentally increased, adults also reduce their body mass temporarily (Weimerskirch et al., 2000b).”
Population sex ratio variation in a monogamous long‐lived bird, the wandering albatross (2005, background): “…not clear, but one might expect the consequences of rearing a chick to be different for the two parents because investment and costs are quite different in male and female wandering albatrosses: males invest more in chick provisioning, but costs may be higher for females (Weimerskirch et al. 2000).”
