6 Tubenosed seabirds wander the world's oceans aided by olfactory abilities rivaling those of any animal on earth. Food finding At large spatial scales (thousands of square kilometers), an olfactory landscape superimposed upon the ocean surface reflects oceanographic or bathymetric features where phytoplankton accumulate. At small spatial scales (tens to hundreds of square kilometers), birds use odors and visual cues to pinpoint and capture prey directly.
