To breed or not to breed: drivers of intermittent breeding in a seabird under increasing predation risk and male bias
Intermittent breeding may be adaptive for long-lived species subjected to large accessory
reproductive costs, but it may also reflect reduced adaptation to the environment, reducing …

Earlier springs increase goose breeding propensity and nesting success at Arctic but not at temperate latitudes
Intermittent breeding is an important tactic in long‐lived species that trade off survival and
reproduction to maximize lifetime reproductive success. When breeding conditions are …

Favorable spring conditions can buffer the impact of winter carryover effects on a key breeding decision in an Arctic‐breeding seabird
The availability and investment of energy among successive life‐history stages is a key
feature of carryover effects. In migratory organisms, examining how both winter and spring …

Heightened heart rate but similar flight responses to evolved versus recent predators in an Arctic seabird
Predator-prey dynamics in the Arctic are being altered with changing sea ice phenology.

A colonial-nesting seabird shows limited heart rate responses to natural variation in threats of polar bears
Several predator–prey systems are in flux as an indirect result of climate change. In the
Arctic, earlier sea-ice loss is driving polar bears (Ursus maritimus) onto land when many …

Fitness consequences of peak reproductive effort in a resource pulse system
The age trajectory of reproductive performance of many iteroparous species features an
early-life increase in performance followed by a late-life senescent decline. The largest …
