Wedge-tailed Shearwater () nesting success in human-dominated coastal environments.

Many seabird populations are declining globally, but successful conservation efforts have led to population expansion of some species into human-dominated landscapes. Thus, there is an increased potential for direct human and seabird interactions for certain species in human-occupied areas, with nest-site characteristics potentially affecting the susceptibility of nests to human disturbance. We assessed the effect of human activity and nest-site characteristics on Wedge-tailed Shearwater ( '') nesting success at two breeding colonies, one with human exposure and one without, located in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i.
