Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: The animal procedures used in this study were reviewed and approved by the Joint BAS ± Cambridge University Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Committee. Permits to operate were issued by the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
: This research uses beaks from squid. Beaks were collected by induced regurgitation of black-browed albatross chicks, a method that proved to be harmless to the chicks, not affecting their survival rate or fledging mass. The British Antarctic Survey provided all the support related to the permits for the fieldwork.
