Abstract
Four annual culls had little effect on the size of the area occupied by the Abbeystead ,i;tillery, but overall nesting density was lowered substantially. The proportion of birds recruited to the breeding population each year was very variable. It seems that at least 30% of birds must be removed annually to hold colony size at the reduced level.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
