Summary:
A study that used DNA tests to
analyse the scats of one of the world's most numerous albatrosses has revealed
surprising results about the top predator's diet. DNA analysis of 1460 scats
from breeding sites around the Southern Ocean has shown that the diet of
black-browed albatrosses contains a much higher proportion of jellyfish than
previously thought.
