Questions addressed concerning the impact of fisheries and climate on Cory’s shearwater survival.

LL longlining effort; SST Sea Surface Temperature; SOI Southern Oscillation Index; subindex CC Canary Current; subindex BA: Benguela and Agulhas Currents.
Note that specific covariate responses (longlining activity: LL, sea surface temperature: SST, and Southern Oscillation Index: SOI) in breeding and wintering grounds were tested. Potential effects of these covariates on survival were also predicted as direct when the covariate in itself influences survival, indirect when it is though a trophic cascade effect for instance, positive when the effect of the covariate increases survival probability, and negative when that effect damages survivorship.
