Ecological determinants of annual fluctuations in numbers of breeding Little Egrets (Egretta garzetta L.) in the Camargue, S. France

Abstract

Les Aigrettes garzettes qui nichent en Camargue ont été dénombrées chaque année entre 1968 et 1992. Pendant cette période, aucune tendance significative n’a pu être mise en évidence, même si d’une année à l’autre la population est passée du simple au double. Une régression multiple a montré que le nombre d’aigrettes qui hivernent avec succès explique 53 % de la variation annuelle du nombre de nicheurs la saison suivante. Par contre, c’est le nombre de poussins envolés la saison précédant l’hivernage et la rigueur de l’hiver qui sont les deux variables responsables à 50 % de la variation de l’effectif des hivernants. A la suite du froid rigoureux de janvier 1985 qui a décimé les hivernants, la population a rapidement comblé son déficit. Les conditions hydrologiques favorables dues aux pluies de l’hiver et du printemps ont permis aux quelques nicheurs de se reproduire avec succès. Les hivers suivants furent cléments et ont facilité la survie de nombreux oiseaux jusqu’à la saison de reproduction suivante.
