About Seabird Sensory Ecology
Seabird sensory ecology explores how the seabirds interact with its environment using their sensory perspective. Many petrels and shearwaters have an excellent sense of smell enabling them to detect their dimly lit burrows and prey across vast featureless oceans. Albatrosses and gannets have acute vision enabling them to precisely pinpoint their prey. Seabirds also have a complex array of vocalizations which they use to communicate with one another and find their mates and offspring.
