Tweeters,

I got this from Seabird-L, and Thought I'd pass it on for those in the
know...

This gentleman proposes an interesting question: Can/Do sea birds act as
distributors of plankton about our oceans?

Subject: seabirds as vectors

Maybe you can help. I recently saw a note on seabirds being attracted to
vegetable oil laced with dimethly sulfide. Do you have the original message
or any additional information about this?

Also, have you heard or know of any literateature where it is suggested that
seabirds might be a vector for the distribution of plankton around the ocean?

Thanks so much,

Richard Podolsky
