Abstract
Foraging distances from the colonies were determined for a guild of 6 species of seabirds, over a 560 km2 area in northeastern Italy. The densities of Gull-billed and Little Terns decreased with increasing distance from the colonies. The foraging distribution of Mediterranean and Black-headed Gulls, and of Common and Sandwich Terns depended on the location of their preferred habitats, which were available only at given distances from the colonies.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
