Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Urban coastal environments are generally considered suboptimal for colonial seabirds because of habitat modification, human disturbance and loss of natural nesting areas. However, artificial coastal habitats embedded within urban landscapes may provide alternative breeding opportunities where suitable environmental conditions persist. We analysed colony establishment, habitat selectio...
