Foraging behaviour and diet of Brown boobies Sula leucogaster from Tinhosas Isl...
Correia, Edna; Catry, Paulo; Sinclair, Frazer; Santos, Yodiney dos; Robalo, Joana; Lima, Cristina S.; Granadeiro, José PedroSeabirds are a highly threatened group, yet the foraging ecology of several species remains poorly understood. Brown boobies breed in all oceans in the tropical region and are common across their range. In Tinhosa Grande (São Tomé and Príncipe), this species breeds in one of the largest colonies of seabirds in the east tropical Atlantic. We studied the foraging ecology of Brown boobies from this colony during t...

Holyoak, David; Holyoak, Geraldine A.; F. de Lima, Ricardo; Panisi, Martina; Sinclair, FrazerThe first comprehensive checklists since the works of Germain in 1916 are presented for the terrestrial mollusca of São Tomé and Príncipe. The fauna currently known comprises 59 species for São Tomé, 45 for Príncipe, and a total of 86 species in the country as a whole. Seven species of terrestrial Gastropoda are newly described from the island of São Tomé and six more from the island of Príncipe. The genera inv...
