The plants and birds of Stoltenhoff and Middle Islands, Tristan da Cunha / Peter G. Ryan, Norman Glass, Robert A. Ronconi.
Title: | The plants and birds of Stoltenhoff and Middle Islands, Tristan da Cunha / Peter G. Ryan, Norman Glass, Robert A. Ronconi. |
Author(s): | Ryan, Peter G. Glass, Norman. Ronconi, Robert A. |
Date: | 2011. |
In: | Polar Record. (2011.), Vol. 47(240) (2011) |
Abstract: | Describes vascular plants and birds present on small islands off north coast of Nightingale Island, Tristan da Cunha in December 2009. Smaller and more isolated Stoltenhoff Island supported more species of plants, including Cotula moseleyi previously thought to be endemic to Nightingale Island. Only one alien plant was found, Sonchus oleraceus. Populations of yellow-nosed albatross Thalassarche chlororhynchos and sooty albatross Phoebetria fusca have apparently decreased by at least half over last 40 years, presumably due to mortality at sea. Stoltenhoff probably has least disturbed habitat in Tristan group, and authors suggest that strict controls are needed to prevent accidental introductions. |
