Abstract Cytochrome b, DNA Sequence, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Molecular Evolution, Procellariidae The cytochrome b gene of three European taxa of the family of Procellariidae was amplified from total DNA and sequenced. The sequence comparison shows that the Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is significantly distinct from shearwaters, whereas Cory’s (Calonectris diomedea) and Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) are closely related. Although the populations of C. dio­medea can be distinguished morphologically, the sequences of cyt b differ only slightly between the Atlantic and Mediterranean subspecies (i.e. C. d. borealis versus C. d. diomedea) and do not reveal other population differences within subspecies.

Abstract:
SummaryA population of feral domestic cats Felis catus has existed at subantarctic Marion Island since 1951. From 1977 to 1990 an ongoing programme has utilized an introduced disease, shooting and gin-trapping in an endeavour to control cat numbers, with the eventual aim of their eradication. Burrowing petrels (Procellariidae) form the majority of the cats' diet. The breeding success of the winter-breeding Great-winged Petrel Pterodroma macroptera has varied between nil and 20.5% in the period from 1979 to 1984, due primarily to cat predation of chicks causing up to 100% mortality. In 1990, by which time cat numbers had been greatly reduced from their 1970s' peak, Great-winged Petrels had a breeding success of 59.6%, with chick mortality being zero. No signs of cat predation were observed. This finding provides good reason to continue the control programme until cats are finally eradicated from Marion Island.

Abstract:
Many challenges still exist in the empirical measurement of population size or density of burrow-nesting procellariiforms. Although reasonable precision of burrow occupancy estimates can be achieved with 10-15 transect (20 entrances per transect) per site, unknown levels of bias in burrow occupancy estimates currently prevents reliable estimation of burrow-nesting procellariiform abundance or harvest rates. Because it is unlikely that biases in burrow occupancy are similar among colonies, valid comparisons among sites may require estimates of absolute abundance rather than relative measures of burrow occupancy. The reliability and precision of matrix models for procellariids will depend primarily on the reliability and precision of adult survival estimates. Sensitivities, elasticities and uncertainties of population growth rate to demographic parameters for models with differing structures and parameterisations showed an overwhelming importance of adult survival in determining population growth rate and results of perturbation analyses. Estimates of adult survival should be a primary focus of any procellariid research program involving assessment of population status, or questions of population response to perturbations. Juvenile survival, pre-breeder survival and emigration rates were also shown to be relatively important in determining population growth rate and perturbation analyses. The sensitivity and elasticity of population growth rate to survival rates for all immature stages combined were similar in magnitude to the sensitivity and elasticity of population growth rate to survival rates for fecund birds. Estimation of survival rates for immature birds should also be given high priority in procellariid research programs. The variability in these parameters among populations needs to be assessed if results are to be generalised beyound specific colonies from which parameters are estimated. There is evidence that selective harvest of heavier Titi chicks occurs on at least some islands. However, analyses of a demographic model incorporating different quality chicks showed even extremely high degrees of selective harvest had little influence on population growth rate or perturbation analyses unless overall harvest levels were very high. Comparison of population growth rate and perturbation analyses of models differing in the level of detail in parameterisation or in the number of stages included in the model, showed negligible differences in results. This suggests that simple models, even if based on only sparse data, are adequate to set research priorities and evaluate population response to perturbations such as for the assessment of conservation management options, evaluation of possible causes of population change and assessment of the effects of harvest.

Abstract:
Ce travail analyse les apports respectifs de différents marqueurs pour étudier la variation géographique et la structure des populations, chez une espèce à distribution naturellement fragmentée : le puffin cendré, oiseau marin de l'ordre des procellariiformes (albatros et pétrels). Une première étape consistait à étudier la dispersion des individus, laquelle détermine les flux géniques, afin d'en déduire des prédictions quant à la structure et au degré de différenciation des populations. Cette analyse est basée sur l'observation d'individus bagués poussins avant l'envol, puis recapturés ultérieurement sur les colonies de reproduction. Les résultats montrent l'existence d'un dimorphisme sexuel, non seulement dans les taux de retour sur le site de naissance pour se reproduire, mais aussi dans les distances de dispersion. La philopatrie est plus importante chez les mâles, mais certains individus réalisent des mouvements dispersifs à grande échelle, tandis que les femelles dispersent d'avantage, mais à des distances relativement courtes. Ensuite, plusieurs paramètres ont été échantillonnés selon différentes échelles spatiales d'analyse, allant de la sous-espèce à la sous-colonie, afin de constituer un jeu de marqueurs potentiels de la variation géographique chez le puffin cendré : - l'étude de la structure et de la différenciation génétique des populations repose sur l'analyse de l'adn, à partir de marqueurs RAPDS, et microsatellite ; - l'étude des divergences phénotypiques repose sur l'analyse des patterns de variation géographique de la biométrie (masse corporelle, hauteur du bec, longueurs du bec, de l'aile pliée, de la queue, et du tarse), et de la phénologie du cycle reproducteur (dates de ponte, d'éclosion, et d'envol des jeunes ; durées de l'incubation, et de la croissance des jeunes), en parallèle avec la variation des facteurs océanographiques (température et salinité, fréquence d'occurrence des fronts thermiques, et distance aux colonies), aux différentes échelles spatiales à travers l'aire de répartition de l'espèce ; - enfin la variabilité des signaux de communication utilisés lors de la formation du couple est également analysée à travers les vocalisations, en tant que marqueurs comportementaux de l'identité géographique et spécifique des populations. Nos résultats montrent que la variabilité des différents caractères utilisés comme marqueurs ne reflète pas forcément un même et unique schéma de différenciation géographique, mais des facettes différentes et complémentaires de ce processus évolutif : - les marqueurs génétiques. L'utilisation d'un marqueur microsatellite nous a permis de mettre en évidence une structuration géographique non détectée à partir des protéines et de l'adn mitochondrial, reflétant les conséquences de la dispersion des individus, et donc l'histoire phylogéographique des populations. - les marqueurs morphologiques mettent en évidence des divergences qui traduisent avant tout des variations spatio-temporelles dans les caractéristiques océanographiques locales sources de contraintes sélectives, témoignant d'un processus adaptatif plutôt qu'historique. - les marqueurs comportementaux. Chez le puffin cendré, comme chez l'ensemble des procellariiformes, la variabilité des vocalisations est essentiellement d'origine génétique, et leur différenciation géographique reflète également les conséquences de l'histoire évolutive des populations. Ces résultats sont discutés dans un cadre plus général, à la lumière des particularités biologiques de chaque marqueur et des modèles étudiés dans la littérature

Abstract:
La taille corporelle impose des contraintes internes, c'est à dire propres à la structure des organismes, et externes, c'est à dire propres aux systèmes organisme-environnement. La taille corporelle est donc un trait d'histoire de vie majeur des organismes liée à des caractères directement associés à la valeur sélective des organismes (survie, fécondité) et constitue une variable intégratrice centrale située au carrefour de pressions sélectives variées. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous avons tente de mesurer les liens entre la taille corporelle et les traits écologiques et démographiques d'un organisme présentant une forte variation intraspécifique de la taille corporelle: le pétrel des neiges pagodroma nivea. Les résultats indiquent que cette variation résulte d'une part d'un dimorphisme sexuel important et d'autre part d'une forte variation intrasexuelle de la taille. Parmi les facteurs à l'origine du dimorphisme sexuel, la sélection sexuelle semble être le plus significatif. L'étude de plusieurs variables liées a l'écologie du modèle d'étude a permis de montrer que les variations de taille intrasexuelles, bien qu'en partie génétiquement déterminées, pouvaient résulter de la variabilité environnementale, notamment de la distance séparant les colonies de reproduction des zones d'alimentation. Plusieurs traits d'histoire de vie, dont la fréquence de nourrissage, la croissance et la date de ponte sont reliés à la taille corporelle. Une approche évolutive a permis de montrer que la taille corporelle est soumise a plusieurs pressions de sélection (sélection naturelle, compétition intraspécifique, prédation, date de ponte) dont l'intensité varie probablement géographiquement. Ces pressions de sélection, les échanges entre populations et l'existence de populations homogènes d'individus de grande et de petite taille uniquement pourraient expliquer le maintien d'une telle variation de taille chez cette espèce.

Abstract:
The discovery and taxonomic history of fluttering shearwater (Puffinus gavia (Forster) and Hutton's shearwater (Puffinus huttoni Mathews) are reviewed. Taxonomic theory, where appropriate to this thesis, is discussed. The external morphology of P. gavia and P. huttoni is compared. No single external measurement or plumage character separates more than 60% of birds examined. The best system of identification is to compare the ratio of different body parts within an individual bird. The distribution of P. gavia and P. huttoni is compared. Hutton's shearwater feeds further out to sea and it is believed to be a migrant species wintering in north west Australian waters. The fluttering shearwater is believed to be a semi-migrant species with only the juveniles spending time in south east Australia. The red cell enzymes of P. gavia, P. huttoni and P. griseus are compared. There are differences in two esterase loci between gavia and huttoni, while P. griseus is more distantly related. Nei's genetic identity values are calculated. The systematic value of electrophoretic data is discussed. The relationship of an undescribed subfossil shearwater to P. gavia and P. huttoni is discussed. An outgroup analysis to other shearwater species is carried out according to phylogenetic (cladistic) theory. The subfossil shearwater is most closely related to the fluttering shearwater, and these two form a sister group to Hutton's shearwater. These three species are a sister group of P. opisthomelas. The relationship between the many P. assimilis subspecies, the black-backed Manx shearwaters, and the gavia, huttoni and opisthomelas group was not resolved. Puffinus nativitatis is more closely related to the Manx and the little shearwaters than to the P. griseus, P. tenuirostris group.
