Under pressure—exploring partner changes, physiological responses and telomere dynamics in northern gannets across varying breeding conditions

Background Life history theory predicts trade-offs between reproduction and survival in species like the northern gannet (Morus bassanus). During breeding, demanding foraging conditions lead them to expand their foraging range and diversify their diet, increasing the risk of reproductive failure. Ch...
