| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Individuals of seabirds breeding at the same colony often use separate areas during the non-breeding period and they sometimes diverse genetically. Short-tailed albatrosses Phoebastria albatrus is endemic and threatened species in Japan. Its population consists of two genetically diverse types (Torishima and Senkaku). We tracked the annual movements of individual birds breeding at Torishima using biologging technique. We found that during their non-breeding period all Torishima type used Bering Sea while Senkaku type mainly used the Okhotsk Sea. We did not detect difference in the timing of arrival to the colony from non-breeding areas between these two types. Thus these two types may be under the different natural and anthropogenic stresses during non-breeding period thus should be carefly treated as separate conservation units.
