Why don't all birds lay early? Causes and consequences of breeding timing for a long‐lived migratory seabird

The relationship between earlier laying and higher breeding success is well-established in avian species. However, a wide distribution of breeding timings is often maintained within a population, and the causes and consequences of this variation require further exploration, parti...

Day length may impose an ecological constraint on chick provisioning behaviour in a high-latitude seabird

Abstract Variation in daylight hours may shape light-dependent behaviours both across seasons and among latitudinally distinct breeding colonies. We investigated the influence of photoperiod variation on chick provisioning behaviour in a high-latitude seabird, the Manx shearwater...
