GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF HOMEOTHERMY IN NESTLING EUROPEAN SHAGS (PHALACROCORAX ARISTOTELIS)

European Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) nestlings were studied on a small island off the coast of central Norway. Increase in body mass (BM) with age (t, days) was described by the logistic equation: BM = 1,622 g/[1 + e−0.172(t−19.9)]. All growth parameters measured (body mass, and length of tarsu...
