Seabirds are affected by changes in the marine ecosystem. The influence of climatic factors on marine food webs can be reflected in long-term seabird population changes. We modelled the survival and r
These data include total anchovy and sardine biomass west and southeast of Cape Agulhas (sampled in November), and anchovy and sardine recruitment west of Cape Infanta (sampled in May). Seabir
Longitudinal studies of marked animals provide an opportunity to assess the relative contributions of survival and reproductive output to population dynamics and change. Cassin’s auklets are a long-li
