It is the aim of ACAP Latest News to list all scientific publications on ACAP-listed albatrosses and petrels as they appear in the literature.  For most papers the abstracts are included.  However, from time to time others will be listed by title only - as for the suite below.

Recent publications on "potential candidate" shearwater species of the genera Calonectris and Puffinus will appear soon in separate postings.

You can help by submitting PDFs of your relevant scientific papers for listing to John Cooper at Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs. Vous devez activer le JavaScript pour la visualiser..
