Parental influence upon the provisioning schedules of nestling Short-tailed Shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris

The single young of shearwaters grows slowly and is fed at long, often highly variable, intervals. We monitored the growth patterns of nestling Short-tailed Shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris exchanged between nests in order to assess whether the patterns of parental visits or the demands of their yo...
