Lifetime foraging patterns of the wandering albatross: Life on the move! (2014, background): “They are wide ranging long-lived marine predators operating large scale movements during the breeding season, when they invest in central place foraging, and outside of the breeding season (Wakefield et al. 2009; Weimerskirch et al., 2000c).”
Understanding movements of organisms: it's time to abandon the Lévy foraging hypothesis (2015, background): “…1993), typically fly at ground speeds of about 10 body lengths or more per second (i.e. body lengths up to about 1 m; flight speeds about 10 m/s) (Wakefield et al. 2009), and so would cover distances of about one thousand body lengths during intervals of 90 s between location recordings…”
Habitat preference, accessibility, and competition limit the global distribution of breeding Black-browed Albatrosses (2011, background): “Secondly, both the temporal and energetic costs of albatross flight also vary with relative wind speed February 2011 159ALBATROSS DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT (Weimerskirch et al. 2000, Wakefield et al. 2009b).”
