Habitat-Specific Between-Year Territory Fidelity by Breeding Adult Common Loons

Evers D. 2000. Habitat-Specific Between-Year Territory Fidelity by Breeding Adult Common Loons. ACAD 98-17. BioDiversity Research Institute

'The report contains data collected from territorial loons residing on waters in or adjacent to the park.' From Abstract, 'From 1989 to 2000, over 1,500 breeding adult loons (52% males and 48% females) were color-marked and weighed from 505 territories on 313 lakes and followed for one to 12 subsequent years. The purpose of this marking program was to quantify the between-year territory fidelity of breeding adult loons within a spatially-explicit context and partly explain patterns with body mass and intra- and inter-season dispersal information.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Seal Cove Pond/Echo Lake/
