Data from: Earlier springs increase goose breeding propensity and nesting success at Arctic but not at temperature latitudes
1. Intermittent breeding is an important tactic in long-lived species that trade off survival and reproduction to maximize lifetime reproductive success. When breeding conditions are unfavourable, individuals are expected to skip reproduction to ensure their own survival. 2. Breeding propensity (i.e...
