Life-history trade-offs and #senescence in black-browed #albatrosses from Kerguelen and Bird Island

Black-browed #albatrosses breeding in more variable environments display slower life histories (slow, late-onset reproductive senescence) and greater among-individual variation in life-history strategies

The analysis of mercury isotopes deposited from #seabird guano into #peatlands serves as a continuous geochemical proxy to reconstruct ancient seabird population dynamics and correlate them with historical climatic shifts over millennia.

Ancient poo reveals uncertain future for Antarctic seabirds

Layers of ancient bird poo preserved in the peatlands of the sub-Antarctic island of Bird Island have given scientists a window into 8,000 years

Dolphins were barely visible today out on the water - a bit grey and choppy but brightened up by a lot of Gannets flying around, diving and then sitting on the water digesting their catch like this beauty here. #SeaBird #Sea #Bird #Gannet #Birding #Scotland

🕊️ Across open oceans, albatrosses turn wind into quiet geometry, tracing long paths between storm, stillness and sea. Their surface rests, long lives and efficient flights reveal how endurance rises from balance with the world around them. A little more of their story waits in the original post.

Did #seabird poop fuel rise of #Chincha in #Peru?
“#Guano dramatically boosted the production of #maize (#corn), and this agricultural surplus crucially helped fuel the Chincha Kingdom’s economy, driving their trade, wealth, population growth and regional influence, and shaped their strategic alliance with the #Inca Empire. In ancient Andean cultures, fertiliser was power.”

We are about 45 minutes from the beach, but sometimes a pelican makes it's way out here. :)
