Pelagic communities of seabirds in the South Atlantic Ocean
This paper presents quantitative analyses at the community level of the spatial dispersion of 44 species of pelagic birds in the South Atlantic Ocean. I have examined the extent to which assemblages of pelagic bird species are influenced by the combined influences of the abundances of other species...

This paper presents quantitative analyses at the community level of the spatial dispersion of 44 species of pelagic birds in the South Atlantic Ocean.
