Modeling temporal and spatial colony‐site dynamics in a long‐lived seabird
2003
We studied the determinants of colony site dynamics in Audouin's gull, Larus audouinii, breeding in a small archipelago of the western Mediterranean. Data on island occupation were available for a series of 25 years, since first colonization of the archipelago in 1973. Group behavior was studied in relation to the components of dispersal: permanence or abandonment (extinction) on an island previously occupied and permanence or occupation (colonization) of another island. Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) were used to identify the relative contribution of each explanatory variable to the probability of colony abandonment. Gulls showed a low probability (3%) of abandoning one of the isl…

Brachylecithum microtesticulatum Timon-David, 1955 etait connu de seulement trois exemplaires en mauvais etat trouves dans l’intestin anterieur d’un Goeland leucophee Larus cachinnans michaellis Naumann (syn. : L. argentatus michaellis ) de Provence (Ile de Riou). Les auteurs ont redecouvert ce parasite en grand nombre chez plusieurs de ces Oiseaux en Corse. Ils precisent les particularites morpho-anatomiques et metriques de ce Distome, ainsi que ses variations intraspeciflques. Le microhabitat d’election tres original de ce Ver adulte (canaux pancreatiques) distingue ce parasite des autres especes du genre Brachylecithum qui sont essentiellement infeodees aux canaux hepatiques ou a la vesi…
