Distribution

Read full entry
Atlantisia rogersi is confined to the South Atlantic island of Inaccessible, Tristan da Cunha (St Helena to UK). The population has been variously estimated as 1,200 birds in 19385, 5,000-10,000 birds in 19523 and 1,000-2,000 breeding pairs in 19746. The most accurate survey to date gave an estimate of 8,400 birds4. It is abundant on the island and may be at carrying capacity given its high population density, delayed maturity, small clutch-size, and lack of major predators or competitors4,9.
