Abstract. We examined sexual dimorphism in 11 morphological characters of the Flesh-footed Shearwater (Puffinus … carneipes) and used these characters in a discriminant function analysis (DFA) to enable sexual classification in the field.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Populations of Southern Rockhopper ( Euduptes chrysocome chrysocome … ) and Macaroni ( E. chrysolophus … ) Penguins at key breeding sites in the Southern Hemisphere have declined substantially in the past 50 years, but … their statuses at important breeding sites in southern Chile are poorly known.

The potential of blue-dyed bait to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels. Third Meeting of Advisory Committee, Valdivia, Chile 19-22 June 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13014)
Category 2: International meeting papers

Blue-dyed bait is a seabird bycatch mitigation technique which is assumed to reduce the … contrast between the bait and the ocean background making baits visually cryptic to seabirds.
