Breeding biology of the Flesh-footed Shearwater (Puffinus carneipes) on Woody Island, Western Australia

The breeding biology of the Flesh-footed Shearwater on Woody Island, Western Australia was studied between 2000 and 2003. The density of burrows, burrow-length, soil-depth, attendance, laying, incubation, hatching, nestling growth and breeding success were measured to provide valuable data on this little studied bird.

2000年至2003年，研究人员针对西澳大利亚州伍迪岛上的肉足鹱（Flesh-footed Shearwater）的繁殖生物学展开了系统调研。本次研究测定了巢洞密度、巢洞长度、土壤深度、亲鸟出勤情况、产卵行为、孵卵过程、出雏情况、雏鸟生长动态以及繁殖成功率等多项核心指标，以期为这种此前研究较少的海鸟提供极具价值的基础研究数据。
