Yelkouan Shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan) Science Article 3
abstract
The Yelkouan shearwater, Puffinus yelkouan, is an endangered Mediterranean endemic species of burrowing petrel threatened by feral cats. The life-history parameters of a small population of Yelkouan shearwaters on the Mediterranean island, Port-Cros, were studied inconjunction with the diet of feral cats, to examine the birds’ vulnerability to introduced cats.
