A fall land bird migration across the South China Sea from Indo-China to the Greater Sunda Islands A fall land bird migration across the South China Sea from Indo-China to the Greater Sunda Islands
We encountered 150 land birds representing 14 families along the cruise track of the Soviet Oceanographic Research Vessel AKADEMlK KOROLEV in the South China Sea. We saw most of these birds during a 3 -day period in a small area c. 350 km southeast of the southern tip of the Indo-China peninsula. These observations suggest that a significant land bird migration corridor crosses the South...

Behavior and successful nesting of American oystercatchers on Falkner Island, Connecticut, in 1993 Behavior and successful nesting of American oystercatchers on Falkner Island, Connecticut, in 1993
Falkner Island, a two hectare unit of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, is located at 41°13'N, 72°39'W in Long Island Sound about 5 km south of Guilford, Connecticut. This island, described in detail by Helander (1988), is the nesting site of a mixed colony of several thousand Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) and a few hundred Roseate Terns (S. dougallii) (Spendelow 1994a,b)...

Two hybrid common x roseate terns fledge at Falkner Island, Connecticut Two hybrid common x roseate terns fledge at Falkner Island, Connecticut
Although these two similarly-sized species are sympatric throughout much of their breeding range, there are few published records of hybridization between Roseate (Sterna dougallii) and Common (S. hirundo) Terns. Records include at least five from Europe (Witherby and Ticehurst 1908, Perry 1972, Robbins 1974, Burggraeve 1977, van den Berg 1980) and only one from North America (Hays 1975)...

Puerto Rican parrots and potential limitations of the metapopulation approach to species conservation Puerto Rican parrots and potential limitations of the metapopulation approach to species conservation
Population viability analyses for a number of endangered species have incorporated a metapopulation approach. The risk assessments of these viability analyses have indicated that some extant populations should be subdivided into numerous subgroups with exchange of individuals among them in order to reduce the chance of catastrophic loss of the species. However, routine application of a...
