Comparative foraging ecology of five sympatric terns at a sub-tropical island in the eastern Indian Ocean

Dietary samples (regurgitates) were collected from the five most numerous tern species from 1993 to 1999 on Pelsaert Island, Houtman Abrolhos island group, off the mid-western coast of Australia. Items identified were related to observations of foraging seabirds around the island.

1993年至1999年期间，在澳大利亚中西部海岸外的豪特曼·阿布罗洛斯群岛（Houtman Abrolhos island group）的佩尔萨特岛（Pelsaert Island）上，采集了五种数量最多的燕鸥物种的膳食样本（反刍物，regurgitates）。已鉴定的食物项目与该岛周边觅食海鸟的观察结果相关。
