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年间，研究人员对西澳大利亚伍迪岛上的肉足剪水鹱（Flesh-footed Shearwater）的繁殖生物学开展了研究。本次研究测定了该物种的洞穴密度、洞穴长度、土壤深度、亲鸟巢栖频次、产卵情况、孵化过程、破壳状况、雏鸟生长情况及繁殖成功率，以期为这一鲜少被研究的海鸟提供极具价值的基础数据。
