Seabirds: Adaptations to Life at Sea
“Procellariiformes that nest in burrows have a strong sense of smell, being able track prey by detecting dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Surface nesting Procellariiformes do not have a strong sense of smell, but instead have increased vision, being able to see six times farther than burrow nesting Procellariiformes .”

I plan on adding this section in “Adaptations to Life at Sea” under the Characteristics section at the end of the first paragraph. I am also considering altering the last sentence of the paragraph where it first talks about the Family Procellariiformes so that the information flows more smoothly, but I am unsure if it is necessary.
