Organochlorine contaminants in albatross from the South Pacific Ocean
1. Albatross eggs and embryos were collected in field seasons from 1996 to 1998 by Department of Conservation field staff. Species collected were the Northern Royal albatross (Diomedea sanfordi), Northern Buller's mollymawk (Thalassarche (platei) (nova sp.)) and Chatham Islands mollymawk (Thalassarche eremita). 2. Tissues were submitted to ESR for chemical analysis. Chemicals of particular inte...
متن کاملEffects of Climate Change and Fisheries Bycatch on Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta) in Southern Australia
The impacts of climate change on marine species are often compounded by other stressors that make direct attribution and prediction difficult. Shy albatrosses (Thalassarche cauta) breeding on Albatross Island, Tasmania, show an unusually restricted foraging range, allowing easier discrimination between the influence of non-climate stressors (fisheries bycatch) and environmental variation. Local...
متن کاملSenescence effects in an extremely long-lived bird: the grey-headed albatross Thalassarche chrysostoma.
Studies attempting to document reproductive or other pre-lethal senescence effects in wild birds typically face an array of problems, including flaws in statistical analyses, non-adaptive philopatry to deteriorating environments, confounding effects arising from cohort heterogeneity and differential death rates of phenotypes and the frequent pairing of old birds to younger mates. Furthermore, r...
متن کاملSeasonal sexual segregation in two Thalassarche albatross species: competitive exclusion, reproductive role specialization or foraging niche divergence?
Sexual segregation by micro- or macrohabitat is common in birds, and usually attributed to size-mediated dominance and exclusion of females by larger males, trophic niche divergence or reproductive role specialization. Our study of black-browed albatrosses, Thalassarche melanophrys, and grey-headed albatrosses, T. chrysostoma, revealed an exceptional degree of sexual segregation during incubati...
متن کاملYoung parents produce offspring with short telomeres: A study in a long-lived bird, the Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys)
In wild vertebrates, young parents are less likely to successfully rear offspring relative to older ones because of lower parental skills ('the constraint hypothesis'), lower parental investment ('the restraint hypothesis') or because of a progressive disappearance of lower-quality individuals at young ages ('the selection hypothesis'). Because it is practically difficult to follow an offspring...
