Long-distance movements in pelagic seabirds: at-sea behaviour and life-history consequences

Abstract:

Throughout their lives, animals have to make trade-offs between current and future events in their annual cycle. Long-lived migratory species in particular have to balance the cost of reproduction with adult overwinter survival, which is heavily dependent on migration. Behavioural plasticity, perhaps through experience and learning, may play a role in shaping individual variations in life-history decisions. The mechanisms by which such variations develop, and their potential effects on lif...
