Statement

Five invertebrate pitfall traps were deployed at each location (n = 15 per island). Traps were set at approximately 5 m intervals and consisted of a 7 cm diameter piece of polypipe inserted flush with the ground. A 200 ml plastic beaker was inserted flush with the polypipe and filled with 1 cm propylene glycol. We left traps set for 4-10 days depending on island accessibility (mean = 8.22 days) before collection. The short duration was chosen to minimise the chance of traps flooding from rain, and prevent the degradation of samples which were also being used for stable isotope analysis (see Pascoe et al., 2022). As further protection from flooding, traps were also placed under vegetation where possible to provide shelter from rain. The observed water levels in traps at collection indicated that trap flooding was rarely and issue. Pitfall trap contents were passed through 20 denier polyganza mesh to remove the propylene glycol and then covered with 70% ethanol for preservation. We repeated this process five times over a year, giving a total of 2674 trapping days (15 traps on five islands deployed five times for 4-10 days each deployment). Each sampling event was timed to coincide with a different season and stage of the short-tailed shearwater breeding cycle: 1. Autumn, March 2020 - pre-fledging; 2. Winter, June/July 2020 - start of vacant colony period; 3. Spring, September 2020 - end of vacant colony period; 4. Summer, December 2020 - incubation and 5. Autumn, March 2021 - pre-fledging.
