The impact of the ongoing rapid climate change on natural systems is a major issue for
human societies. An important challenge for ecologists is to identify the climatic factors that …

Summary 1 Demographic data from both breeding and non‐breeding periods are needed to
manage populations of migratory birds, many of which are declining in abundance and are …

Many fields of science begin with a phase of exploration and description, followed by
investigations of the processes that account for observed patterns. The science of ecology is …

record and evolution of avian egg nesting and incubation/DC Deeming--Nest construction …

Multistate capture-recapture models are a natural generalization of the usual one-site
recapture models. Similarly, individuals are sampled on discrete occasions, at which they …

We investigated the influence of age on survival and breeding rates in a long-lived species
Rissa tridactyla using models with individual random effects permitting variation and …

Summary 1 Although life‐history theory predicts substantial costs of reproduction,
individuals often show positive correlations among life‐history traits, rather than trade‐offs …

Summary 1 In long‐lived species, adult survival is an important life‐history trait. Better
knowledge of the effects of non‐catastrophic climate variation on the adult survival of long …

Catastrophic population declines in marine top predators in the northern Pacific have been
hypothesized to result from nutritional stress affecting reproduction and survival of …
