美國亞拉斯加 Fairbanks大學的研究發現,紅腳三趾鷗的數目自1980年銳減一半,可能和全球 氣候暖化有關。由於氣候轉變,白令海東南Pribilof 島附近富脂質 (lipid)的魚類減少,可能會令雛鳥缺乏足夠的脂質,妨礙腦部發育,令牠們的學習能力不足,不能掌握生存所需的技能。
 
 
Are sea birds becoming too dumb to survive?
 
Gaia Vince  
 
The global decline in seabird populations is of growing concern to ecologists, and now researchers have discovered a new cause – some may be becoming too stupid to survive.
 
Climate change may be the root of the trouble. New environmental conditions lead fish to migrate, leaving the birds that feed on them malnourished. The new research shows that lack of a specific nutrient in red-legged kittiwakes damages their cognitive abilities and could leave them too daft to find food.
