Intraspecific variability in nestling growth and fledging behavior of Cassin's Auklets at Triangle Island, British Columbia

Article Abstract:

The intraspecific variability in nestling growth and fledging behavior of Cassin's Auklets at Triangle Island, British Columbia was studied using a model that considers the timing of fledging as an adaptive strategy. Results reveal that fast growing nestlings fledged heavier and younger compared to slow growing nestlings. Furthermore, it was revealed that the nestling habitat influenced and affected fledging.

Adult survival of the black guillemot in Iceland

Article Abstract:

A new study analyses survival rates of black guillemots in Iceland using a long-term capture-recapture model. Data collected between 1974 and 1995 in the colony was used, incorporating 1,483 individuals. The study provides an estimate of adult survival in the black guillemot of 0.870, similar to previous estimates for the species.
