We measured mercury concentrations ([Hg]) and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (delta N-15) in the primary feathers of Short-tailed Shearwaters (Puffinus tenuirostris) that were tracked year-round. The [Hg] were highest in 14 birds that used the Okhots

The marine ecosystems of the Bering Sea and adjacent southern Chukchi Sea are experiencing rapid changes due to recent reductions in sea ice. Short-tailed shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris visit this region in huge numbers between the boreal summer a

Access to human-derived food is thought the major cause of population increases in many gull species, and the degree to which urbanized gulls depend upon anthropogenic food may be resolved by isotopic benchmarks. Stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15

Recent advances in tracking technology (i.e. smaller and lighter devices) have enabled long deployments, of up to 12 months or more, on shearwaters (Procellariidae). These deployments have been successfully used to examine migration patterns, winteri

Urban populations of several gull species worldwide are increasing dramatically and this is often assumed to be a result of greater access to anthropogenic food obtained in urbanized environments. This research investigated the potential effects of a

Although many extrinsic factors affecting recruitment in Short-tailed Shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris have been studied continuously on Fisher Island, Tasmania, since 1947, the need to minimise disturbance in this colony has meant that little is kn

The mining of gold can lead to toxic metals such as mercury (Hg) contaminating watercourses as by-products. The Reedy Creek sub-catchment, in northeast Victoria, Australia, was mined for gold in the 1850s. In 1998, samples were taken from six waterco

Silver gulls Larus novaehollandiae in south-western Australia lay eggs over an eight-month period with peaks in April, July and September. Clutch-sizes, egg-sizes and laying-intervals did not differ between these three peaks, hut second eggs were sma

The growing realization that humanity?s wellbeing and longevity are directly related to the ecological health of our planet has led to an explosion of legislation and regulations in recent times. Ecological impact assessments (EcIAs) are an important

Prey consumed by breeding Pacific Gulls (Larus pacificus) were identified and quantified on seven islands in the Furneaux Group, Bass Strait, Australia, over the 2003/04 austral summer to examine temporal and spatial variation in dietary preference.
