Modelling demography and extinction risk in the endangered Balearic shearwater
Balearic Shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus) Science Article 1 abstract Several demographic parameters of Balearic shearwater (Puffinus mauretanicus) were estimated and used to model extinction probabilities for the species, which is an endemic seabird confined to a Mediterranean archipelago. Adult survival was analyzed through capture-recapture models at two colonies free of adult predators during 1997-2002. Extinction probabilities […]
