Data from: Breeding synchrony and predator specialization: a test of the predator swamping hypothesis in seabirds
Reproductive synchrony is a widespread phenomenon that is predicted to be adaptive for prey with specialist predators but not for those with generalist ones. I tested this prediction in three polar seabird species characterized by different levels of predator specialization. In the Antarctic petrel,...
