High annual variability in reproductive success and survival of an Antarctic seabird, the snow petrel Pagodroma nivea

Abstract: Demographic parameters were estimated for snow petrels Pagodroma nivea nesting at Pointe Géologie Archipelago, Adélie Land, Antarctica between 1963 and 1990; 21 years of data on adult survival and 27 years of data on breeding success are available. The average age of first return and first breeding were 8.1 and 9.9 years respectively and there was no signifcant difference between the sexes. The overall breeding success averaged 51.3% and was very variable between years (21-80%). Breeding failure was mostly due… Show more

“…Additional data analysis methods are also explored. In the study conducted at Ile des Pe´trels (Chastel et al 1993) demographic parameters for the study colony were calculated over a slightly increasing set of nests. The colony on Reeve Hill comprises up to 95 nests individually marked with yellow paint numbers on the rocks near the nest entrance.…”
