For birds, the most significant changes were observed in groups known as Procellariformes (albatrosses and petrels) and
Sphenisciformes (penguins).

Sphenisciformes) and found in the waters of the southern hemisphere.
The seabirds sampled in this study belong to the orders Procellariiformes (albatrosses, petrels, shearwaters, priors, and fulmarines) and
