The Influence of Human Disturbance on Tufted Puffin Breeding Success
Pierce DJ and Simons TR. 1986. The Influence of Human Disturbance on Tufted Puffin Breeding Success. The Auk. 103(1):214-216
From introductory paragraph: " Burrow-nesting alcids are vulnerable to human disturbance (Amaral 1977, Manuwal 1978), but little quantitative information exists on the impact of researcher disturbance on estimates of alcid breeding success. We estimated our influence on Tufted Puffin (Fratercula cirrhata) reproductive success as part of a larger study of seabird ecology on the Barren Islands, Alaska (Manuwal and Boersma 1977)."
