Satellite tracking of Bulwer’s Petrels Bulweria bulwerii in the Canary Islands
نویسندگان
چکیده
Capsule The breeding foraging and post-breeding dispersal movements of five satellite-tagged Bulwer’s Petrels from the Canary Islands were recorded. Foraging trips lasted 5.6 days in average (n=3), while the mean distance covered was 1261 km, and foraging areas were located over the continental slope and the adjacent pelagic waters, around 1200–2000 m depth and up to 350 km from the colony. After the chickrearing period, birds dispersed southwestwards to the tropical waters of the central Atlantic.

We analysed concentrations of cadmium, lead, mercury and selenium in blood from males and females of the 2 sibling species of giant petrels, the northern Macronectes halli and the southern M. giganteus, breeding sympatrically at Bird Island (South Georgia, Antarctica). Blood samples were collected in 1998 during the incubation period, from 5 November to 10 December. Between species, cadmium and...
