Abstract:
Stable isotope studies have repeatedly shown marine nutrient incorporation from seabirds, anadromous fish and tidal wrack into terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. However, little is known about the physiological consequences of marine-derived nutrient subsidies. Protein content and lipid storage are important physiologically, and the C:N ratio is a widely used proxy that reflects changes in these quantities. In this study we tested the response of C:N ratios in stream biota to the presence of marine-derived nutrients from Westland petrels, a forest breeding seabird. Samples of different str

Abstract:
We describe a new Procellaria petrel species from the late Pliocene of Taranaki, New Zealand. The new species is most similar morphologically to the White-Chinned Petrel (P. aequinoctialis), Spectacled Petrel (P. conspicillata) and the Westland Petrel (P. westlandica). Compared with those taxa, the new species has a deeper and shorter premaxilla, longer coracoid and shorter wings, while its legs are a similar size. Today, New Zealand is the centre of global diversity of the genus, with four breeding species. This is the first fossil species of Procellaria to be described from New Zealand, atte

Abstract:
Most Procellariform seabirds are pelagic, breed in summer when prey availability peaks, and migrate for winter. They also display a dual foraging strategy (short and long trips) and sex-specific foraging. The Westland petrel Procellaria westlandica , a New Zealand endemic, is one of the rare seabirds breeding in winter. Preliminary findings on this large and sexually dimorphic petrel suggest a foraging behaviour with no evidence of a dual strategy, within a narrow range and with shared areas between sexes. To investigate further this unusual strategy, the present study determined the fine-scal

Abstract:
Surface soil samples from two sites in a breeding colony of Westland Petrels were compared with those from a control with no seabird breeding. Soil solution (-0.025 �m) analyses established significant differences in Al, P and natural organic matter (NOM) chemistry. At the breeding colony sites, low concentrations of total Al in soil solution, combined with high extractable phosphate, indicated formation of insoluble humic-Al-(Fe)-P complexes. NOM in soil solution was estimated from absorbances at 250 nn. NOM was at lower concentrations at the breeding colony and had a lower percentage of Al b

Abstract:
Guano from breeding seabirds provides a large external source of nutrients to the soils of breeding colonies. However, little is known of guano P retention relative to N or the relative importance of guano and soil parent material as P sources. Soil profile N and P inventories (0–0.60 m, n = 4; 0–0.36 m, n = 1) and guano N and P concentrations were measured at a Westland petrel colony, and the parent material contributions of P were calculated using Ca, Al, Fe, Ti, and Zr as reference elements. Median inventories (0–0.60 m) were 1.49 kg N/m2 and 332 × 10–3 kg P/m2, the N result being similar t

Abstract:
Seabirds vector selenium (Se) into terrestrial ecosystems in Antarctica and on tropical coral islands, but factors controlling distribution within affected soils are unknown, especially in temperate regions. At a Westland petrel (Procellaria westlandica) breeding colony on mainland New Zealand, the concentration of Se in petrel guano (3.6 mg kg–1) exceeded soil parent material (0.8 mg kg–1) and in all but two soil samples (range 1.2–4.2 mg kg–1; n = 52). External Se (Se not derived from parent material) accounted for 64 ± 9% (mean ± s.d.) of soil Se. Measurements were also made at a former sea
