Long-term stability in the volume of Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica) eggs in the western North Atlantic
In the eastern North Atlantic, declines in the volume of Atlantic Puffin (Fratercula arctica (Linnaeus, 1758)) eggs have been associated with shifts in the marine ecosystem, such as changes in the abundance of forage fishes and increasing sea-surface temperatures. In the western North Atlantic, wher...
