There were six breeding species of seabirds and 13 nonbreeding ones. Each species showed its own pattern of diel change in number of individuals on the islands, some being more numerous by day, others by night. For a given species, there were differences between seasons and between islands. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Atoll Research Bulletin (540), p. 217-236 | Publisher: | Smithsonian Institution Press | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1943-9660 0077-5630 |
