Living on the Edge: Demography of the Slender-Billed Gull in the Western Mediterranean
Small and peripheral populations are typically vulnerable to local extinction processes but important for the metapopulation dynamics of species. The Slender-billed gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a long-lived species breeding in unstable ephemeral coastal habitats. Their Western Mediterranean populations are relatively small and represent the edge of their global geographical distribution. At ...
متن کاملAdapting to a Changing World: Unraveling the Role of Man-Made Habitats as Alternative Feeding Areas for Slender-Billed Gull (Chroicocephalus genei)
Current rates of wildlife habitat loss have placed increasing demands on managers to develop, validate and implement tools aimed at improving our ability to evaluate such impacts on wildlife. Here, we present a case study conducted at the Natural Area of Doñana (SW Spain) where remote sensing and stable isotope (δ(13)C, δ(15)N) analyses of individuals were combined to unravel (1) the effect of ...
متن کاملHybridization of glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus) and herring gull (Larus argentatus) in Iceland: mitochondrial and microsatellite data.
Large white-headed gulls provide an interesting group of birds for studies of hybridization. The group is composed of 20 species of recent origin, often with weak reproductive barriers. Here we report the results from a study on the glaucous gull Larus hyperboreus, an Arctic species which has been breeding in Iceland for centuries, and the herring gull Larus argentatus which has a wide distribu...
متن کاملVIM‐1 carbapenemase‐producing Escherichia coli in gulls from southern France
Acquired carbapenemases currently pose one of the most worrying public health threats related to antimicrobial resistance. A NDM-1-producing Salmonella Corvallis was reported in 2013 in a wild raptor. Further research was needed to understand the role of wild birds in the transmission of bacteria resistant to carbapenems. Our aim was to investigate the presence of carbapenem-resistant Escherich...
متن کاملMetabolism during flight in the laughing gull, Larus atrida
TUCKER, VANCE A. Metabolism during flight in the laughing gull, Lams atricilla. Am. J. Physiol. 222(2): 237-245. 1972.-The mean metabolic rates of two laughing gulls (mean body mass, 0.30 kg) flying in a wind tunnel were between 23 and 38 w/kg0*325 depending on flight speed and angle of flight. A change in the intensity of air turbulence in the tunnel from 0.88 to 1 .44y0 had little effect on t...
