Progressive ontogenetic niche shift over the prolonged immaturity period of wandering albatrosses

Very little is known about trophic ontogenetic changes over the prolonged immaturity period of long-lived, wide-ranging seabirds. By using blood and feather trophic tracers (δ(13)C and δ(15)N, and mercury, Hg), we studied age-related changes in feeding ecology during the immature phase of wandering...
