Estimation of demographic parameters is central to research questions in wildlife
management, conservation, and evolutionary ecology. I review the 7 major classes of mark …

The survival probability of birds during the juvenile period, between the end of parental care
and adulthood, is highly variable and has a major effect on population dynamics and …

The world's oceans are undergoing rapid, regionally specific warming. Strengthening
western boundary currents play a role in this phenomenon, with sea surface temperatures …

Despite evidence that some individuals achieve both superior reproductive performance
and high survivorship, the factors underlying variation in individual quality are not well …

Diet‐related breeding failure in seabirds has been attributed to declines in key prey
abundance, the quality of prey and overall prey availability. However, identifying which …

Coastal developments are ever‐expanding and increasing the use of artificial lights within
marine environments. Yet there is conflicting research on the impact of artificial lights on …

Since the 1950s, flipper bands have been used widely to mark penguins (Spheniscidae), but
not without concerns regarding possible negative effects on survival and fitness. As part of a …

Using body mass and breeding data of individual penguins collected continuously over 7
years (2002–2008), we examined carry-over effects of winter body mass on timing of laying …

We measured breeding performance of little penguins Eudyptula minor at Phillip Island,
Victoria, Australia, during a 21‐year period. All birds considered in this paper (n= 307) were …

During the breeding season, seabirds are central place foragers and have to adapt their
foraging behaviour in response to environmental variation to maximize efficiency and …
