This study aims at determining breeding chronology and reproductive parameters (clutch-size, egg volume, hatching success and chick survival rates) in two Yellow-legged Gull Larus michahellis colonies showing a marked difference in anthropogenic food resources accessibility. For instance, one of the colonies studied, established on Ratonneau island, is very close to the large refuse dumps of Marseille city while the other, established on Bagaud island, is 30 km distant from the nearest refuse dump. The mean laying date of the first egg showed a significant difference between the two colonies. Although mean clutch-size does not significantly differ between the two colonies, complete 3-egg clutches were more frequent at Ratonneau. Mean egg v...
