摘要
Most populations of colonial birds exhibit extensive variation in colony size. Field studies over the last decade have shown that individual birds breeding in colonies of certain sizes are apparently more successful than those settling in colonies of other sizes, yet size variation persists. Enough information is now available to suggest four explanations for how birds choose colonies and why colonies vary in size. © 1990.
