<P id=p-4>Westerly winds in the Southern Ocean have increased in intensity and
moved poleward. Using long-term demographic and foraging records, we show that
foraging range in wandering albatrosses has shifted poleward in conjunction with
these changes in wind pattern, while their rates of travel and flight speeds
have increased. Consequently, the duration of foraging trips has decreased,
breeding success has improved, and birds have increased in mass by more than 1
kilogram. These positive consequences of climate change may be temporary if
patterns of wind in the southern westerlies follow predicted climate change
scenarios. This study stresses the importance of foraging performance as the key
link between environmental changes and population
processes.</P></DIV></DIV></FONT><BR>
