Predation on burrowing petrels by the brown skua (Catharacta skua loÈnnbergi) at Mayes Island, Kerguelen
The diet of the brown skua (Catharacta skua loÈnnbergi) was studied at Mayes Island, Kerguelen archipelago, by collection of prey remains on 11 territories during the complete breeding cycle of the species there.

Grafts made during the winter and early spring months, especially in January, February, and early March, are nearly 100 per cent successful, while in late spring, summer, and early fall the percentages are often much lower. This is especially true with certain varieties. For example, results...
متن کاملFactors influencing territorial occupancy and reproductive success in a Eurasian Eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) population
Modelling territorial occupancy and reproductive success is a key issue for better understanding the population dynamics of territorial species. This study aimed to investigate these ecological processes in a Eurasian Eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) population in south-eastern Spain during a seven-year period. A multi-season, multi-state modelling approach was followed to estimate the probabilities of oc...
