Biometrical and Biological Considerations on the Cory’s Shearwater Calonectris Diomedea

  • Conference paper
Mediterranean Marine Avifauna

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

Abstract

Today the Mediterranean distribution of Cory’s Shearwaters is believed to be well known. New colonies may be discovered, but certainly the largest ones are known. Many data were published during the last ten years and we believe to have a satisfactory knowledge of their biology, though some problems, as the winter movements of each population, the first breeding age and the ratio immatures/adults are still to be examined carefully.
