Bringing home the trash: do colony-based differences in foraging distribution lead to increased plastic ingestion in Laysan albatrosses?
LC Young, C Vanderlip, DC Duffy, V Afanasyev… - PloS one, 2009 - journals.plos.org
When searching for prey, animals should maximize energetic gain, while minimizing energy
expenditure by altering their movements relative to prey availability. However, with
increasing amounts of marine debris, what once may have been 'optimal'foraging strategies
for top marine predators, are leading to sub-optimal diets comprised in large part of plastic.
Indeed, the highly vagile Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis) which forages
throughout the North Pacific, are well known for their tendency to ingest plastic. Here we …
