In long-lived species, adult survival is an important life-history trait. Better know-ledge of the effects of non-catastrophic climate variation on the adult survival of long-lived seabirds is therefore needed. However, documentation of such effects is still rare. 2.

Description
Summary:In long-lived species, adult survival is an important life-history trait. Better know-ledge of the effects of non-catastrophic climate variation on the adult survival of long-lived seabirds is therefore needed. However, documentation of such effects is still rare. 2. Using capture–mark–resighting data, we modelled the annual survival rates of five species of seabirds, the common guillemot ( Uria aalge
