Project

Foraging behaviour and ecology of Antarctic fulmarine petrels in relation to wind and habitat characteristics.

The aim of the proposed project is to study the space use strategies, foraging behaviour and diet of an assembly of four petrels during the breeding season in two regions within Eastern Antarctica. A major focus will be on the identification of habitat requirements within the two distinct regions and the effects of wind speed and wind direction on the space use decisions and flight costs of the different species.
