Little Shearwater (Puffinus assimilis) Science Article 1 abstract Ecological, life-history, breeding biology and morphologic data were collected for 18 shearwater species Puffinus spp., and the relationships between these parameters and migratory behaviour were investigated. Intraspecific variation in relative wing length was associated with differences in migratory behaviour of the Little Shearwater Puffinus assimilis populations, but […]
