Huge thanks to all my collaborators on this project, it has been amazing working with you! We are also grateful to the funding agencies and fieldworkers, without whom this work would not have been possible! @liverpooluni.bsky.social @ukri.org @bas.ac.uk @predateursmarins.bsky.social

However, earlier and faster reproductive senescence correlates with higher lifetime reproductive success (LRS) 🐣 regardless of environmental variability. This result suggests that either faster life histories yield higher fitness or successful reproduction accelerates reproductive senescence

We show that black-browed #albatrosses breeding in more variable environments display slower life histories (slow, late-onset reproductive senescence) and greater among-individual variation in life-history strategies

📃New paper in Ecology letters 🐦 I’m delighted to share the publication of the first paper from my #postdoc with @samanthacpatrick.bsky.social looking at life-history trade-offs and #senescence in black-browed #albatrosses from Kerguelen and Bird Island doi.org/10.1111/ele.70384

Environmental Variability Shapes Life‐History Trade‐Offs Within and Between Populations of a Long‐Lived Seabird
Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between allocation of resources to reproduction or self-maintenance, yet how environmental variability shapes this trade-off remains poorly understood. We sho...

Excited to see my illustration on the cover of a Journal of Avian Biology issue 😍🎨! Don't miss the cool review on same-sex partnership in birds written by @tashgillies.bsky.social and @katrina-siddiqi.bsky.social

🚨 PhD alert 🚨 We are looking for a highly motivated student to use 🧬 genomics 🧬 and 🛰️ bio-logging 🛰️ approaches to disentangle cultural and genetic contributions to seabird migration 🐣 Think this is you, or someone you know? Then come to our Q&A session at on 29/09 and check out the ad below!

📃New paper We looked at incubating common eiders 🦆 responses to repeated human approaches (mirroring a predation attempt 🦅). Individuals differed in their response and this was linked to variation in reproductive investment and perceived threat level doi.org/10.1016/j.an... @ecophycebc.bsky.social
