Laridae and Sternidae Breeding in Italy: Report on the 1982–1984 Census Project

  • Conference paper
Book cover Mediterranean Marine Avifauna

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIG,volume 12))

Abstract

The populations of colonial waterbirds (gulls, terns and other seabirds, and herons) have been accurately censused only in restricted regions of the earth. The continental or worldwide review (Cramp & Simmons, 1977 and 1983; Croxall et al., 1984; Cramp, 1985) include sound data on populations of colonial waterbirds, which are limited to Northern and Central Europe, the coasts of the United States of America and of Canada, and a few other countries, e.g. South Africa. Elsewhere, the data are either incomplete (e.g. the Mediterranean countries) or merely qualitative (most tropical and southern regions).
