The influence of environmental conditions on the age pattern in breeding performance in a transequatorial migratory seabird.

The influence of environmental conditions on the age pattern in breeding performance in a transequatorial migratory seabird.

Several studies of marine top predators, above all of seabirds, have analysed the effects of either individual age or environmental fluctuations on reproduction; nevertheless, little is known about the age patterns in breeding performance in a variable environment. To investigate the simultaneous in...
