- Abstract
The article presents a study on the avifauna of Hatu-iti Island in Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. The researchers conducted transect surveys in 2010 using handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) to show the length of every transect. They also set out traplines for rats every night and inspected them every morning. They found an unexpectedly rich avifauna including Phoenix Petrels Pterodroma alba, Polynesian Storm-petrels Nesofregetta fuliginosa and a strong population of nesting Red-tailed Tropicbirds Phaeton rubricauda.
