本文报道了5年来在人工巢箱中繁殖的欧洲风暴海燕的入住率和筑巢成功率。塑料巢箱被安装在贝尼多姆岛（地中海西部）的两个天然洞穴内，那里是该物种的繁殖地。巢箱的位置是(a)在暴露的天然巢上方或(b)在没有巢的地点，但通常靠近它们。在安装后的繁殖季节访问了巢箱，当时只有旧巢上方的巢箱被占用。两种类型的巢箱入住率逐年递增，第五年达到29%。箱内繁殖的成对产卵成功率高于自然地点繁殖的成对产卵成功率。
We report on occupancy rates and nesting success of European storm-petrels Hydrobates pelagicus breeding in artificial nest-boxes for five years. Plastic nest-boxes were installed inside two natural caves on the island of Benidorm (western Mediterranean), where breeding colonies of the species occur. The location of nest-boxes was (a) over exposed natural nests or (b) at sites without nests, but usually close to them. Nest-boxes were visited during the breeding season following installation, when only nest-boxes over old nests were occupied. Occupancy rates in both types of nest-box increased gradually year after year, reaching 29% in the fifth year. Nesting success of pairs breeding inside boxes was higher than nesting success of pairs breeding at natural sites.
