| Abstract: | The sexes of the Procellariidae are similar in plumage, but the male is usually larger than the female. The authors have tried to find biometical criteria to distinguish these sexes of Mediterranean race of Cory's shearwater Calonectris d. diomedea. Additionally its flight call is described and its sexual difference, which was supposed to exist, demonstrated. |
