The breeding season stage, behaviour of little auks and gulls, meteorological conditions and variation in zooplankton availability may exert an influence on the maximum number of little auks present in a colony during successive periods, as well as on the time of the day at which the peak numbers occur. There does not exist one superior lactor responsible for the attendance rhythm of the little auks. This rhythm is governed by the resultant of many intra-population, biocoenotic and environmental factors whose intensity of action varies with the breeding season stages.}, type={Text}, title={Factors causing changes in the rhythm of attendance of the little auks, Plautus alle (L.), at a colony during the breeding season in Svalbard}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/69084/PDF/WA058_87356_P2840-T34_Eko-Pol-A-Nr-2.pdf}, volume={34}, number={2}, journal={Ekologia Polska}, publisher={Polish Scientific Publishers}, keywords={Svalbard, little auk, pattern of attendance at a colony}, }
