Water flux in animals: analysis of potential errors in the tritiated water method

TL;DR: Water flux rates measured with tritiated water may be expected to be within +/- 10% of actual flux rates in most situations, but under conditions that can occur in field studies, errors may be much greater.
Journal ArticleDOI

Migratory shearwaters integrate oceanic resources across the Pacific Ocean in an endless summer.

TL;DR: The extraordinary transequatorial postbreeding migrations of a small seabird, the sooty shearwater, obtained with miniature archival tags that log data for estimating position, dive depth, and ambient temperature reveal that shearwaters fly across the entire Pacific Ocean in a figure-eight pattern while traveling 64,037 ± 9,779 km roundtrip, the longest animal migration ever recorded electronically.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate change and Southern Ocean ecosystems I: how changes in physical habitats directly affect marine biota

Andrew J. Constable, +65 more
TL;DR: Current and expected changes in ASO physical habitats in response to climate change are reviewed, including how these changes may impact the autecology of marine biota: microbes, zooplankton, salps, Antarctic krill, fish, cephalopods, marine mammals, seabirds, and benthos.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast and fuel efficient? Optimal use of wind by flying albatrosses

TL;DR: The capacity to integrate instantaneous eco–physiological measures with records of largescale flight and wind patterns allows us to understand better the complex interplay between the evolution of morphological, physiological and behavioural adaptations of albatrosses in the windiest place on earth.
