Wandering albatrosses exert high take-off effort only when both wind and waves are gentle

L. Uesaka, Y. Goto, M. Naruoka, H. Weimerskirch, K. Sato, K. Q. Sakamoto

This study estimates wind and wave conditions experienced by wandering albatrosses using animal-borne sensors and finds that take-off effort is highest when both wind and waves are gentle.

Albatrosses employ orientation and routing strategies similar to yacht racers

Y. Goto, H. Weimerskirch, K. Fukaya, K. Yoda, M. Naruoka, K. Sato

This study compares the navigation strategies of wandering albatrosses and yacht racers, finding similar wind-optimized travel patterns despite differences in time-minimization.

The role of wingbeat frequency and amplitude in flight power

K. Krishnan, B. Garde, A. Bennison, N. C. Cole, E.-L. Cole, J. Darby, K. H. Elliott, A. Fell, A. Gómez-Laich, S. d. Grissac, M. Jessopp, E. Lempidakis, Y. Mizutani, A. Prudor, M. Quetting, , E. L. C. Shepard

The paper examines how wingbeat frequency and amplitude relate to flight power in birds, finding that amplitude is more variable and better reflects energy demands than frequency alone.

The challenges of independence: ontogeny of at-sea behaviour in a long-lived seabird

K. Delord, H. Weimerskirch, C. Barbraud

This study examines the ontogeny of foraging behavior in Amsterdam albatrosses, finding progressive improvements in foraging performance and sex-specific differences over time.

Soaring styles of extinct giant birds and pterosaurs

Y. Goto, K. Yoda, H. Weimerskirch, K. Sato

The paper quantifies the flight performance and wind requirements of extinct giant birds and pterosaurs, finding conflicting results with previous studies on their soaring styles.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going: effect of extreme climate on an Antarctic seabird’s life history

S. Jenouvrier, L. Aubry, S. van Daalen, C. Barbraud, H. Weimerskirch, H. Caswell

The paper shows that in Antarctic seabirds, favorable conditions increase individual stochasticity's role in life history outcomes, while poor conditions increase trait heterogeneity's role.

Exploring the infection dynamics of a bacterial pathogen on a remote oceanic island reveals annual epizootics impacting an albatross population

A. Jaeger, A. Gamble, E. Lagadec, C. Lebarbenchon, V. Bourret, J. Tornos, C. Barbraud, K. Lemberger, K. Delord, H. Weimerskirch, J.-B. Thiebot, T. Boulinier, P. Tortosa

The paper investigates the annual infection dynamics of Pasteurella multocida in albatrosses on Amsterdam Island, finding high prevalence and its link to mass die-offs of nestlings.
