 Arctic: Low body mass of juvenile Ross's gulls Rhodostethia rosea in the Laptev Sea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Four juvenile Ross's gulls Rhodostethia rosea were trapped on the New Siberian Islands in the Laptev Sea in early August 1994, allowing data collection on body mass and morphometrics from a poorly known part of the species' annual cycle.
Since breeding has not been confirmed on the New Siberian Islands (Zubakin et al., 1990; Hjort et al., 1995), it is likely that the juvenile Ross's gulls we trapped had just arrived from the Siberian mainland, some 300 km or more to the south.
The body masses of the New Siberian Island birds came close to the 113-120 g that Hjort (1982) reported as "Hungergewichte." The reason for the low body mass may simply be the energy cost for a post-breeding dispersal of at least 300 km for these newly fledged and inexperienced juveniles.
