Description
Summary:Population dynamics of Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla in Bering Sea colonies will be increasingly affected by climate-induced changes in the physical environment. Since adult kittiwakes are central place foragers with high energy requirements, increased variability of forage patch dynamics as predicted for polar regions may influence both quantity and quality of food available and consequently alter the population dynamics of kittiwake colonies. Life-history models were used to predict the evolution of reaction norms in early development of kittiwakes and their consequences on individual and population dynamics in the face of climate change. This dataset includes code for model results presented in each of four journal articles linked below.
