Studies of high-latitude seabirds. 2, conservation biology of thick-billed murres in the Northwest Atlantic / edited by A.J. Gaston and R.D. Elliot.: CW69-1/69E-PDF

"This collection of papers derives from a symposium held at Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, in April 1989. Contributions by Evans and Kampp and by Kampp deal with the current dynamics of the Thick-billed Murre population in West Greenland. Evans and Kampp provide clear evidence of a substantial decline in numbers over the past 50 years. Kampp's detailed analysis of band recoveries points to shooting at breeding colonies as a major cause of mortality, and one that affects the most demographically valuable segment of the population - the breeders. He also examines the weaknesses of haphazard banding in attempting to answer certain demographic questions"--Introd.
