Hidden survival heterogeneity of three Common eider populations in response to climate fluctuations
Summary Understanding how individuals and populations respond to fluctuations in climatic conditions is critical to explain and anticipate changes in ecological systems. Most such studies focus on climate impacts on single populations without considering inter‐ and intra‐population heterogeneity. Ho...
