Abstract:

A new feather mite species of the genus Microspalax Mégnin & Trouessart, 1884 (Alloptidae: Microspalacinae) is described from the Atlantic petrel, Pterodroma incerta (Schlegel, 1863), in Brazil. Males of M. atlanticus sp. nov. differ from M. pterodromae Dubinin, 1949 mostly by the wider opisthogastric shields and setae ps3 inserted at posterior third of that shield. This is the first representative of the genus described from Brazil, and the first feather mite described from a procellariiform bird in the country. A key to males of Microspalax species is presented.

Abstract: Coastal sea surveys off eastern Guadeloupe, French West Indies, in 2001–2008 showed the presence of Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata). The species occurs in small numbers from October to March, peaking from November to January. Such a seasonal appearance coincides with the species’ breeding calendar, suggesting that these birds may belong to the small breeding population recently rediscovered in nearby Dominica. The presence of this rare and endangered species in French waters off Guadeloupe has to be taken into account in national conservation policy. Keywords: at-sea records, Black-capped Petrel, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Pterodroma hasitata Resumen: Diablotín (Pterodroma hasitata) occurencia cerca Guadalupe, Antillas Menores, 2001–2008—Encuestas en el mar costero del este de Guadalupe, en las Antillas francesas en 2001–2008 han mostrado la presencia del Diablotín (Pterodroma hasitata).

Resumimos información publicada, de especímenes de museo y nuestras propias observaciones en Rapa Nui. Dentro de la información mas relevante incluye el primer registro documentado para el Petrel de Murphy (Pterodroma ultima), Petrel Gigante Subantártico, (Macronectes halli), Albatros de Ceja Negra (Tha-lassarche melanophrys) y Petrel de Fénix (Pterodroma alba), segundo registro documentado para el Ave del Trópico Cola Blanca (Phaethon lepturus). Adicionalmente documentamos el primer registro de nidificación para el país para el Petrel de Henderson (Pterodroma atrata), Petrel de Murphy (Pterodroma ultima), y Petrel de Fénix (Pterodroma alba). Se han registrado un total de 19 especies de aves marinas para Rapa Nui, 13 nidificando y 6 visitantes. Aunque dos de los visitantes (Fregata minor y Onychoprion lunatus) posiblemen-te nidificaron en el pasado pero al menos no lo han hecho en los últimos 100 años. Doce especies te-rrestres han sido introducidas y hoy en día solo 8 sobreviven y otras 6 han sido encontradas en el regis-tro arqueológico todas extintas. El número de especies registradas en Rapa Nui es de 53 más 4 hipotéti-cas, incluyendo las encontradas en sitios arqueológicas. En el registro arqueológico Steadman (1995) consideró 29 especies, (incluyendo las extintas) pero dos de las que el estimó como extirpadas se en-contraron y nidificando en la isla. Muchas de las especies mencionadas por Steadman (1995) como ex-tirpadas es posible que habiten allí por ser migrantes australes y nidificantes en áreas subantarticas. Entre otoño y primavera son las épocas que han sido menos visitadas por ornitólogos.

Abstract:

I describe and illustrate five new species of chewing lice in the genus Halipeurus, parasitic on petrels from the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. They are: Halipeurus confusus n. sp. from Pterodroma nigripennis; H. pricei n. sp. from Pterodroma brevipes and Pt. leucoptera; H. atlanticus n. sp. from Pterodroma cahow and Pt. madeira; H. pelagodromae n. sp. from five subspecies of Pelagodroma marina; and H. vincesmithi n. sp. from Oceanodroma matsudairae. I discuss the morphological similarities of the currently recognised subgenera of Halipeurus and propose to synonymise them—Synnautes Thompson, 1936 and Anamias Timmermann, 1965—under the nominate subgenus. I propose two new synonymies at species level: Halipeurus sawadai Nakagawa, 1959 and Halipeurus angusticeps fosteri Edwards, 1961 both as junior synonyms of Halipeurus angusticeps (Piaget, 1880). Also, I propose to merge H. subclavus Timmermann, 1961 and Halipeurus spadix Timmermann, 1961 as subspecies of H. spadix. I report several new host-louse records for other Halipeurus species, and present additional information and illustrations for H. raphanus Timmermann, 1961, H. fallacis Timmermann, 1960, H. nesofregettae Timmermann, 1961 and H. spadix subclavus Timmermann, 1961 based on their type material and other specimens. Lectotypes of Lipeurus pelagicus Denny, 1842 and Lipeurus languidus Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902 are designated.

Abstract:

Alexander (1954: 489) recorded a petrel (Aves: Procellariiformes) captured alive on board a ship in the Indian Ocean by Mr W.W.A. Phillips who, after removing some lice, liberated it the following morning. Alexander (1954) identified that petrel as the species “Pterodroma aterrima Bonaparte”, now placed in the genus Pseudobulweria. The lice were kept in the collection of the then British Museum (Natural History), now the Natural History Museum, London, England. Jouanin (1955) published a new species of petrel from the Indian Ocean as Bulweria fallax. Jouanin (1957: 19) discussed the identity of the petrel identified by Alexander (1954) as Pterodroma aterrima, stating that the descriptive data given by Alexander (1954) did not clearly fit either P. aterrima or B. fallax. However, considering the geographical coordinates where the bird was captured, Jouanin (1957) believed it was more likely Bulweria fallax.

Abstract:

The only population of Gould's Petrel Pterodroma leucoptera leucoptera has declined substantially during the last few decades. Adult mortality has been high, and has exceeded potential recruitment. Breeding success has been low. Entanglement in the sticky fruits of the Birdlime Tree Pisonia umbellifera and predation by Pied Currawongs Strepera graculina and Australian Ravens Corvus coronoides have been the major causes of petrel mortality on land. Experimental management actions aimed at ameliorating these threats were implemented, and their efficacy assessed. The removal of Pisonia and the control of avian predators dramatically lessened the mortality of Gould's Petrels ashore on Cabbage Tree Island. Instigation of these management actions in 1993 was coincident with a 68% rise in the number of birds brooding eggs in mid-December. Further small increases in the breeding population occurred in subsequent years. Management of the colony was also coincident with a substantial increase in breeding success (up from 25% to 45%). Breeding success increased to 59% in the 1994?95 season, but declined to 26% during 1995?96. Prior to management of the colony, an average of 30 birds fledged per annum (range 23?40; n= 4); after management, this rose to 167 per annum (range 105?233; n= 3). Management of the colony appears the most likely cause of this turnaround, but the possibility of it being due to extraneous factors such as weather or oceanographic perturbations cannot be excluded. The threats posed by Pisonia umbellifera and avian predators were, together, sufficient to account for the decline of Gould's Petrel. The demonstration that these two threatening processes can be ameliorated successfully suggests a high potential for recovery of the species.

Abstract:

AbstractSince 2004 there has been mounting evidence of the severe impact of introduced house mice (Mus musculusL.) killing chicks of burrow-nesting petrels at Gough Island. We monitored seven species of burrow-nesting petrels in 2014 using a combination of infra-red video cameras augmented by burrowscope nest inspections. All seven camera-monitored Atlantic petrel (Pterodroma incertaSchlegel) chicks were killed by mice within hours of hatching (average 7.2±4.0 hours) with an 87% chick failure rate (n=83 hatchlings). Several grey petrel (Procellaria cinereaGmelin) chicks were found with mouse wounds and 60% of chicks failed (n=35 hatchlings). Video surveillance revealed one (of seven nests filmed) fatal attack on a great shearwater (Puffinus gravisO’Reilly) chick and two (of nine) on soft-plumaged petrel (Pterodroma mollisGould) chicks. Mice killed the chicks of the recently discovered summer-breeding MacGillivray’s prion (Pachyptila macgillivrayiMathews), with a chick mortality rate of 82% in 2013/14 and 100% in 2014/15. The closely-related broad-billed prion (P. vittataForster) breeds in late winter and also had a chick mortality rate of 100% in 2014. The results provide further evidence of the dire situation for seabirds nesting on Gough Island and the urgent need for mouse eradication.

Abstract:

Seabirds must often travel vast distances to exploit heterogeneously distributed oceanic resources, but how routes and destinations of foraging trips are optimized remains poorly understood. Among the seabirds, gadfly petrels ( Pterodroma spp.) are supremely adapted for making efficient use of wind energy in dynamic soaring flight. We used GPS tracking data to investigate the role of wind in the flight behaviour and foraging strategy of the Desertas petrel, Pterodroma deserta . We found that rather than visiting foraging hotspots, Desertas petrels maximize prey encounter by covering some of the longest distances known in any animal in a single foraging trip (up to 12 000 km) over deep, pelagic waters. Petrels flew with consistent crosswind (relative wind angle 60°), close to that which maximizes their groundspeed. By combining state–space modelling with a series of comparisons to simulated foraging trips (reshuffled-random, rotated, time-shifted, reversed), we show that this resulted in trajectories that were close to the fastest possible, given the location and time. This wind use is thus consistent both with birds using current winds to fine-tune their routes and, impressively, with an a priori knowledge of predictable regional-scale wind regimes, facilitating efficient flight over great distances before returning to the home colony.

Most of these observations occurred outside the accepted range for this species and improve the available information on its distribution. The Atlantic Petrel has been regularly recorded north and south of the Antarctic Convergence for more than 30 years, although these records are still considered casual and not part of their usual pelagic range.

Abstract:

SummaryThe predatory behaviour of introduced house mice Mus musculus at Gough Island is known to impact on albatross and petrels, resulting in the Tristan Albatross Diomedea dabbenena and Atlantic Petrel Pterodroma incerta being listed as “Critically Endangered” and “Endangered”, respectively. Although predation has been documented for two burrowing petrels and one albatross species, the impact of house mice on other burrowing petrels on Gough Island is unknown. We report burrow occupancy and breeding success of Atlantic Petrels, Soft-plumaged Petrels Pterodroma mollis, Broad-billed Prions Pachyptila vittata, Grey Petrels Procellaria cinerea and Great Shearwaters Puffinus gravis. With the exception of the Great Shearwater, breeding parameters of burrowing petrels at Gough Island were very poor, with low burrow occupancy (range 4–42%) and low breeding success (0–44%) for four species, and high rates of chick mortality in Atlantic Petrel burrows. Breeding success decreased with mass, suggesting that smaller species are hardest hit, and winter-breeding species had lower breeding success than summer breeders. The results indicate that introduced house mice are having a detrimental impact on a wider range of species than previously recorded and are likely to be causing population declines among most burrowing petrels on Gough Island. The very low values of burrow occupancy recorded for Soft-plumaged Petrels and Broad-billed Prions and greatly reduced abundance of burrowing petrels in comparison to earlier decades indicate that Gough Island’s formerly abundant petrel populations are greatly threatened by the impact of predatory house mice which can only be halted by the eradication of this species from the island.

Abstract:

Grey-faced Petrels (Pterodroma gouldi) are colonial burrowing seabirds predominantly nesting on offshore islands of the upper North Island of New Zealand. We studied their chick provisioning on Te Hāwere-a-Maki during two years of unfavourable warmer La Niña conditions in 2011 and 2013. We intensively monitored chicks in each year, weighing chicks every 12 h for 10 consecutive days to estimate meal sizes following chick provisioning and to estimate 12-hourly body mass loss as a function of time since last feeding. We found a quadratic relationship of body mass loss with time since last feeding, with rapid digestion of meals following provisioning followed by a period of fasting from five days post feeding as chicks waited an unknown and variable amount of time until their next meal. The rate of body mass loss did not depend on chick age nor body mass, and did not differ between years, but heavier chicks included in our study were more likely to successfully fledge, suggesting a legacy of adult provisioning prior to our study commencing. Our regular handling of chicks for monitoring has no discernible impact on parent provisioning compared to a set of control chicks. The mean estimates of 100-gram meal sizes and 10-day foraging trip durations are likely to be below the break-even point for this species.

Abstract:

AbstractBirds restricted to islands are susceptible to extinction, and burrow or ground-nesting birds are particularly vulnerable to introduced mammalian predators. Human intervention has also played a vital part. Birds have been used as a source of food, and in more recent times the rarer species have suffered from specimen and egg collection. The island of Madeira and its resident species, which include the endemic Zino's petrel or Madeira freira Pterodroma madeira, are no exception. From subfossil evidence, this bird was once abundant. It was first recorded in 1903, and was already limited to the high central mountain massif of Madeira. By the middle of the century it was considered extinct, but a relict population was rediscovered in 1969. By 1985, all known breeding attempts were disrupted by introduced rats, to the extent that no young fledged. In 1986 the Freira Conservation Project was founded with the aim of increasing the population of Zino's petrel, by controlling rats and human interference, the principal perceived threats to the species. This control was extended to cats after the disaster of 1991, in which a cat(s) managed to get onto one of the breeding ledges and kill 10 adult birds. The results of these efforts have been positive and the small colony is making a slow, but steady recovery. To maintain this success, a conservation strategy for the future is suggested.

Abstract:

The feae-complex comprises the three taxa of petrel Cape Verde Fea's Pterodroma f. feae, Desertas Fea's P. f. desertae, and Zino's P. madeira, breeding on the Cape Verde Islands, Desertas Islands, and Madeira Island, respectively (Mathews 1934; Bourne 1983). At-sea identification (ID) of these three cryptic taxa is challenging. A petrel belonging to this complex was observed from a boat off the Isles of Scilly, SW England, on 16 August 2015. An excellent series of photographs document the sighting and key ones reproduced below permit detailed examination of the petrel's characteristics and assessment of its ID.

Abstract:

Grey-faced Petrels (Pterodroma gouldi) are a colonial burrowing seabird predominantly nesting on offshore islands of the upper North Island of New Zealand. We studied their annual breeding biology and the impact of Southern Oscillation Index climatic effects by measuring colony productivity and chick growth rates from 2011 to 2015 on Te Hāwere-a-Maki as unfavorable warmer La Niña conditions changed to favorable cooler El Niño conditions. Across all five years, annual chick hatching consistently occurred within a one-week period at the end of August but fledging variably occurred over a three-week period following Christmas. Because ship rats are pest controlled on Te Hāwere-a-Maki, we found only a slight reduction in breeding success with nearby predator-free islands. However, chick growth and fledging rates were significantly higher under El Niño conditions occurring towards the end of our study, rather than La Niña conditions at the start of our study. Our regular handling of chicks for monitoring had no discernible impact compared to a set of control chicks. The combined impacts of annual variation in predation and climate mean the Grey-faced Petrel colony on Te Hāwere-a-Maki maintains a constant population size of around 100 burrows.

Abstract:

SummaryThe Bermuda Petrel Pterodroma cahow was thought to have become extinct early in the 17th century due to a combination of hunting by human colonists and predation by introduced rats, cats, dogs and pigs. However, single individuals were found on four occasions during the first half of the 20th century, and in 1951 a small population was discovered breeding on several rocky islets in north-east Bermuda. Recovery actions began in 1962 when the population numbered just 18 pairs, dispersed among five small islets. Although rats extirpated one of these five colonies in 1967, the population has grown steadily to 56 breeding pairs in 2000. We investigated the breeding phenology, productivity and population size of the Bermuda Petrel between 2000/2001 and 2007/2008. Each year, the birds began arriving in Bermuda around mid-October. They departed on a pre-breeding exodus between 19 November and 14 December, returning after 32–56 days to lay a single egg between 31 December and 31 January. Eggs hatched from 16 February to 26 March after a mean (± SD) incubation period of 53 ± 2 days, and young fledged from 15 May to 25 June after a mean fledging period of 91 ± 5 days. Between 2000/2001 and 2007/2008, reproductive output ranged from 29 to 40 fledglings per annum. Mean annual breeding success (62%) was reasonably high relative to other Procellariiformes, largely due to the provision of artificial (concrete) nesting burrows. In 2008, the population numbered 85 breeding pairs. Monitoring since 1961 indicates the population has been increasing exponentially, doubling approximately every 22 years. This rate of increase, together with the increased incidence of storm damage, is making it progressively more impracticable to construct sufficient concrete burrows on the current nesting islets to accommodate all breeding pairs. The vulnerability of these sites to accelerating storm damage and erosion as a result of anthropomorphic climate change is now the greatest threat to the Bermuda Petrel.

Abstract:

The ‘Atlantic Odyssey’ is the annual reposi- tioning trip of the Professor Molchanov, a small Expedition Cruise ship that spends the austral summer in Antarctic waters and the northern summer in the Arctic. For enthusiasts of seabirds, cetaceans, islands, and photography, the voyage from Ushuaia in Argentina south to the Antarctic Peninsula, and thence north to Cape Verde via South Georgia, the Tristan da Cunha group, St Helena, and Ascension Island provides a superb opportunity to view marine life across 70 degrees of latitude. On the morning of 11 March 2008, we were heading south on our second day in the Drake Passage, with a moderate northwest wind, two-metre swell, high thin overcast skies, and excellent visibility. At 11.20 hours (ship’s time, position 60o17’S 69o44’W) we were observing from the sun deck above the bridge when a medium-sized petrel flew close across the bow from east to west. Similar sized seabirds seen that morning were Cape Petrel Daption capense, Antarctic Prion Pachyptila desolata, Thin-billed Prion P. belcheri, and Soft- plumaged Petrel Pterodroma mollis.

Abstract:

SummaryEarly work on the Dark-rumped Petrel Pterodroma phaeopygia of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador, identified colony sites and population status and alerted wildlife managers to an alarming decline in nesting numbers. Predation by introduced mammals, such as rats, cats, pigs and dogs, is the chief concern, followed by loss of nesting habitat to agricultural development. Programmes to reduce predation through poisoning and hunting, begun in 1983, increased the number of chicks fledged from the main breeding colony in eight out of nine years. Pre-breeding adults were lured by tape-recordings to ‘safe’ sites where they successfully raised chicks in artificial nests. Tape-luring offers hope for establishing new colonies on predator-free islands.
