That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birdsand thus the radar-emitting boatsin real time. 5 The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected
28、 from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.

So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations. 12. What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research? A. Their feeding
