The demography of a new Common Noddy (Anous stolidus) colony during the establishment period

Common Noddies (Anous stolidus) were first recorded on Lancelin Island off south-western Australia in January 1992. A study of the population dynamics of this colony began in the 1994-95 breeding season and was continued for over 10 years, until 2011. The demography of the colony was modelled using information on adult survivorship, age of first breeding and natal recruitment from the analysis of banding-recapture data and annual colony census data.

白顶玄燕鸥（Common Noddies, Anous stolidus）于1992年1月在澳大利亚西南沿海的兰斯林岛（Lancelin Island）首次被记录。针对该繁殖种群的种群动态研究始于1994-1995年繁殖季，持续十余年直至2011年。本研究通过对环志重捕数据与年度种群普查数据进行分析，获取成体存活率、首次繁殖年龄及新生个体招募等相关信息，并以此对该种群的种群统计学特征开展建模工作。
