THE OLDEST KNOWN BANDED WANDERING ALBATROSS DIOMEDEA EXULANS AT THE PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDS

Abstract

The oldest known wandering albatross Diomedea exulans at the Prince Edward Islands is estimated to have been approximately half a century old when last recaptured in 2001. Demographic studies need to continue for several more decades before the true maximum longevity of the species becomes evident.
