- W2043713356 abstract "A significant decrease in the body size of Audouin's Gulls Larus audouinii breeding at the Chafarinas Islands is reported. The decrease in linear measurements in the current breeding population ranged from 2.5% to 5.6% in males and from 0.61% to 4.4% in females. This was detected when assessing the reliability of a sex-discriminating function derived for the same colony 13 years earlier. When applied to the current population, this function failed to predict the sex of a large proportion of males (44%). The relative decrease in mean size was significantly greater in males than in females for culmen, nalospi and tarsus lengths, while for bill depth at culmen, wing length and body mass the relative decrease was similar in both sexes. Since the extent of differences depended on sex, these differences cannot be attributed to a systematic between-observer bias. Mean body size reduction might be either the result of a greater proportion of small breeding birds in the current population, because of increased availability of nesting sites (competition relaxation hypothesis), or an outcome of environmental factors affecting growth parameters (environmental constraint hypothesis). According to the first hypothesis, the changes observed would be associated with higher variability values. Conversely, if the second is true, the degree of variability should be similar. Since there are no significant differences in the degree of variability shown in the two data sets, our results support the second hypothesis. The environmental constraint acting via growth parameters is probably related to the increase in the number of Audouin's Gull breeding pairs while food availability was depleted. Our data suggest that changes in the duration of the growth period, rather than in the growth rates themselves, are involved in the body size differences found." @default.
