MARC recordWinter diet of the subantarctic skua Catharacta antarctica at Macquarie Island / M. Schulz, R. Gales.
| Title: | Winter diet of the subantarctic skua Catharacta antarctica at Macquarie Island / M. Schulz, R. Gales. |
| Author(s): | Schulz, M. Gales, R. |
| Date: | 2004. |
| In: | Marine Ornithology. (2004.), Vol. 32(2) (2004) |
| Abstract: | Reports on diet of small population of sub-Antarctic skuas wintering on Macquarie Island since 1999. In 143 observations of foraging between 1 June and 31 August 2003 predominant prey item was rabbit, mainly scavenging and predation on kittens, juveniles and myxoma-infected individuals. Scavenging on king penguin carcasses was also common, and individual skuas pecked at clusters of goose barnacles attached to beach-cast debris. Discusses changes in populations of introduced rodents and king penguins as possible factors in overwintering of Catharacta antarctica. |
