What is individual quality? An evolutionary perspective
In studies of population ecology, demography and life history evolution, among-individual
differences in traits associated with survival and reproduction are often attributed to variation …

Estimation of demographic parameters from live‐encounter data: a summary review
BK Sandercock - The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Estimation of demographic parameters is central to research questions in wildlife
management, conservation, and evolutionary ecology. I review the 7 major classes of mark …

Individual covariation in life-history traits: seeing the trees despite the forest
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 …

Benefits and costs of increased levels of corticosterone in seabird chicks
Seabird chicks respond to food shortages by increasing corticosterone (cort) secretion,
which is probably associated with fitness benefits and costs. To examine this, we …

The logic of skipped spawning in fish
That sexually mature fish skip reproduction, especially in response to poor condition, has
been documented in many species. We present results from an energy-allocation life history …

Reproductive senescence in a long-lived seabird: rates of decline in late-life performance are associated with varying costs of early reproduction
Evolutionary theories of senescence predict that rates of decline in performance parameters
should be shaped by early-life trade-offs between reproduction and somatic maintenance …

Individual heterogeneity and capture–recapture models: what, why and how?
Variation between and within individuals in life history traits is ubiquitous in natural
populations. When affecting fitness‐related traits such as survival or reproduction, individual …

Age-specific reproductive performance in red-billed choughs Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax: patterns and processes in a natural population
JM Reid, EM Bignal, S Bignal, DI McCracken… - Journal of Animal …, 2003 - JSTOR
1. Using data from a 20-year study of individually marked red-billed choughs, we examine

A mechanistic link between chick diet and decline in seabirds?
AS Kitaysky, EV Kitaiskaia, JF Piatt… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A climatic regime shift during the mid-1970s in the North Pacific resulted in decreased
availability of lipid-rich fish to seabirds and was followed by a dramatic decline in number of …

Individual quality, early‐life conditions, and reproductive success in contrasted populations of large herbivores
Variations among individuals in phenotypic quality and fitness often confound analyses of
life‐history strategies assessed at the population level. We used detailed long‐term data …
