Ocean climate prior to breeding affects the duration of the nestling period in the Atlantic puffin
Time-series covering 23 years for a long-lived seabird, the Atlantic puffin ( Fratercula arctica L.) at Røst, northern Norway, was used to explore any indirect effects of climatic variations on chick production. By fitting statistical models on the duration of the nestling period, we found that it m...
