Influence of reproductive success on breeding frequency in four southern petrels
Patterns of breeding frequency of White‐headed Pterodroma lessoni, Great‐winged Pterodroma macroptera, White‐chinned Procellaria aequinoctialis and Grey Petrels Proceharia cinerea have been studied at Kerguelen and Crozet Islands. The White‐headed Petrel (summer breeder) followed an essentially bien...
