Figure 3. Observed at-sea densities of sooty and short-tailed shearwaters in the Southern Ocean.

A. Individual survey records (number of birds per 10-minute survey). B. Smoothed density surface fit with local scatterplot smoothing (see text). Locations of Southern Ocean fronts from north to south are shown in black: SAF-M, middle branch of the Subantarctic Front; PF-N, northern branch of the Polar Front; PF-S, southern branch of the Polar Front; SB-ACC, southern boundary of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
