Storm-petrels (Order Procellariformes) are a group of pelagic seabirds characterized by spending most of their lifespan at open sea. These birds establish their colonies in extreme desert environments, to which they return at night during their breeding season. This group is considered one of the least known seabirds and information about their distribution and the state of their breeding colonies is scarce. In Perú there´s record of a single colony of Markham´s storm-petrel (Oceanodroma markhami) in Paracas and at least five breeding colonies of the Wedge-rumped storm-petrel (Oceanodroma tethys kelsalli) located at the islands of Chao, Corcovado, Santa, Ferrol and Foca. The colonies of storm-petrels are threatened by direct intervention to their nesting sites, the presence of obstacles during their flight, introduced predators and light pollution. The latter can be defined as the alteration of natural light regimes by the presence of anthropogenic lighting. Artificial light disorients and attracts storm-petrel fledglings that leave their nest at night. This can result in light induced mass fatality events on fledglings (fallout) from collisions with man made structures, predation, starvation, dehydration or being run over by vehicles. The trend of growing urbanization results in an overall increase in light pollution which should result in an intensification of the impact on storm petrel populations. Research on the breeding colonies of this species is available, although these focus on their identification and characterization. The effect of light pollution on the colonies has not been quantified. This project proposes to evaluate to what extent light pollution has an impact on O. markhami and O. tethys kelsalli colonies in the peruvian coast. This information will allow to focus conservation efforts, taking into account the effect light pollution may have on their breeding population.
