Author(s): GEOFFREY C. SMITH

Silver Gull populations have increased substantially in the past 50 years. This is primarily because they are scavengers and have been able to utilize human refuse.

Seasonal distribution of records indicates that coastal south-eastern Australia forms part of the core breeding range of the species.

Arid zone ducks that breed in the southern hemisphere (but not those that breed in the northern hemisphere) lay in more months of the year than do non-arid zone ducks. Clutch sizes of ducks that breed in dry environments are higher than […]
