The year‐round distribution and habitat preferences of Campbell albatross (Thalassarche impavida)

The use of miniaturized electronic tracking devices has illuminated our understanding of seabird distributions and habitat use, and how anthropogenic threats interact with seabirds in both space and time. To determine the year‐round distribution of adult Campbell albatross (Thalassarche impavida), a...

Description
Summary:The use of miniaturized electronic tracking devices has illuminated our understanding of seabird distributions and habitat use, and how anthropogenic threats interact with seabirds in both space and time. To determine the year‐round distribution of adult Campbell albatross (Thalassarche impavida), a single‐island endemic, breeding only at Campbell Island in New Zealand's subantarctic, a total of 68 year‐long location data sets were acquired from light‐based geolocation data‐logging tags deployed on breeding birds in 2009 and 2010. During the incubation and chick‐guard phases of the breeding season, birds used cool (
