Fig. 6. Warming time of cold food in an albatross' stomach. Shown here are stomach
temperature excursions for a wandering albatross D. exulans over a 6
day foraging trip in the Southern Ocean, which reflect the influence of sea
surface temperature (SST) and meal mass on stomach temperature and meal
warming time. On days 1, late 6 and 7, meals were taken in cold water south of
the subtropical convergence (STC). On days 2–5, meals were taken from
warmer water north of the STC. [Reproduced from Weimerskirch and Wilson
