Impact of predation by the Black Rat Rattus rattus on the breeding success of Cory’s Shearwater Calonectris diomedea on Linosa island (Sicily, Italy)
We studied the impact of predation by the Black Rat on the breeding success of Cory’s Shearwaters on Linosa island (Pelagian archipelago) in 2006. Between 6 and 10 June we marked 231 active nests, which we checked in July, September and October. In July we found eggs or pulli in only 121 nests, whil...
