Wilsons Storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) Science Article 5 abstract Wilson’s storm petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) characteristically feeds by’ hovering’ over the water surface, but its technique for this is unlike that ofother flying vertebrates. The kinematics and aerodynamics of this ‘ hovering’flight were investigated to determine the possible sources of lift PHILIP C. WITHERS, J. exp. Biol. […]

NIDIFICACION y HABITAT DEL PETREL DE WILSON (OCEANITES OCEANICUS) EN PUNTA CIERVA, COSTA DE DANCO, PENINSULA ANTARTICA
Wilsons Storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) Science Article 1 abstract Studies on Wilson’s Storm-Petrel population at Cierva Point, Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula (64 09 S, 60 57 W), were done in the austral summer 1994-1995. The research was carried out in two areas, along the rocky coast and in the moss-covered hillsides. Jose Luis Orgeira, ORNITOLOGIA NEOTROPICAL […]
The food demand in the nest of Wilson’s storm petrel
Wilsons Storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) Science Article 3 abstract Energy delivered to the nests of Wilson’s storm petrel, Oceanites oceanicus(Kuhl, 1820), was evaluated by measurement of the oxygen consumption of brooding adultbirds and nestlings of different ages.

Olfactory foraging strategies of procellariiform seabirds
White-faced Storm-petrel (Pelagodroma marina) Science Article 1 abstract The study of olfactory foraging ability in procellariiform seabirds is now beginning to explore how species aremorphologically and behaviorally adapted to track odor plumes, and to relate these findings to models of odor transport innatural situations. According to the models, odors in atmospheric flow tend to be […]
Vocal Behavior of Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma rnonorhis)
Swinhoes Storm-petrel (Oceanodroma monorhis) Science Article 1 abstract Swinhoe’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodromma onorhis)is a nocturnal seabird related closely to Leach’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodromale ucorhoa).S winhoe’s Storm-Petrel breeds in the northwestern Pacific Ocean on small islands around the Japan Sea or off Korea (Palmer1962, Cramp and Simmons 1977, Won and Lee 1986) MIKI TAOKA et al, Auk, Vol. […]
NORTH ATLANTIC POSSIBLE, PROBABLE AND REJECTED RECORDS OFSWINHOE’S STORM-PETREL AND EXTRALIMITAL BULWER’S PETREL
Swinhoes Storm-petrel (Oceanodroma monorhis) Science Article 2 abstract Records of Swinhoe’s Storm-petrel and extralimital records of Bulwer’s Petrel were researchedand are presented in the article
THE PELAGIC ECOLOGY OF MANX SHEARWATERS PUFFINUS PUFFINUSOFF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) Science Article 1 abstract Knowledge of the biology of Manx Shearwaters Puffinus puffinus is largely based on dataobtained in and around breeding colonies. In this paper I provide information on various aspects of the marine ecology of this shearwater. The information presented here on age and sex ratios, masses, moult sequence […]
Influence of migratory behaviour on the morphology and breeding biology of Puffinus Shearwaters
Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) Science Article 1 abstract Ecological, life-history, breeding biology and morphologic data were collected for 18 shearwater species Puffinus spp., and the relationships between these parameters and migratory behaviour were investigated. Intraspecific variation in relative wing length was associated with differences in migratory behaviour of the Little Shearwater Puffinus assimilis populations, but […]

Obstruction and starvation associated with plastic ingestion in a Northern Gannet Morus bassanus and a Greater Shearwater Puffinus gravis
Greater Shearwater (Puffinus gravis) Science Article 1 abstract Plastic ingestion by seabirds is well documented (see Laist 1997for a list of species with ingestion records). However, casesdefinitively attributing seabird mortality to ingestion of plastic arerare. Seabirds that die from ingestion often suffer obstruction of thegastrointestinal tract. Ultimately, the birds die of starvation andoften quickly sink […]
