The effect of feral cats on the population viability of black-vented shearwaters (Puffinus opisthomelas) on Natividad Island, Mexico

Insular breeding seabirds are likely to be particularly vulnerable to introduced mammalian predators because they often lack behavioural, morphological and life-history defenses against predation. We studied the life-history of the black-vented shearwater (Puffinus opisthomelas) on Natividad Island, Baja California Sur, Mexico, to examine its vulnerability to introduced feral cats. Using an all...

Maximum Dive Depths of Eight New Zealand Procellariiform including Pterodroma Species

Lightweight capillary tube depth gauges were attached to breeding at New Zealand colonies during the period 1998-2008. This paper presents the first information on the diving ability of Pterodroma Grey-faced Petrels, Pterodroma macroptera gouldi, recorded maximum dives down to 23 m. Males (6.3 ± 6.3 m SD) dived deeper on average than females (3.6 2.5 m) during the incubation period but not sign...

Polymorphic microsatellite markers for the critically endangered Balearic shearwater, Puffinus mauretanicus.

Ten novel polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from the Balearic shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus), a critically endangered seabird. The developed loci revealed a relatively low number of alleles per locus, as well as low levels of polymorphism (H(O)  = 0.377 ± 0.241). One of the loci appeared to be W-linked. All polymorphic loci were successfully amplified in its cl...

Inter- and intraspecific variation of the nucleotide sequence of the cytochrome b gene in Cory's (Calonectris diomedea), Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) and the Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis).

The cytochrome b gene of three European taxa of the family of Procellariidae was amplified from total DNA and sequenced. The sequence comparison shows that the Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is significantly distinct from shearwaters, whereas Cory's (Calonectris diomedea) and Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) are closely related. Although the populations of C. diomedea can be distinguished morph...

Association of predators and prey at frontal features in the California Current: competition, facilitation, and co-occurrence

We investigated variations in the smallto meso-scale abundance and distribution of the 6 most abundant seabird species in the northern California Current — black-footed albatross Phoebastria nigripes, sooty shearwater Puffinus griseus, pink-footed shearwater Puffinus creatopus, forktailed storm-petrel Oceanodroma furcata, common murre Uria aalge, and Cassin’s auklet Ptychoramphus aleuticus — du...
