Partner intrinsic characteristics influence foraging trip duration, but not coordination of care in wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans
1. Long-lived monogamous species gain long-term fitness benefits by equalising effort during bi-parental care. For example, many seabird species coordinate care by matching foraging trip durations within pairs. 2. Age affects coordination in some seabird species; however, the impact of other intrins...

1. Long-lived monogamous species gain long-term fitness benefits by equalising effort during bi-parental care.
