ABSTRACT:
Seabirds typically show a delayed reproduction and low breeding success. Their low reproductive output is compensated by long lifespans (i.e. high survival). However, there are critical moments in their life associated with increased mortality, such as early life and reproduction. Survival can differ between individuals depending on their sex, age, breeding experience, or intrinsic quality. The environmental conditions (e.g. food availability, climate, predators) experienced during their life can cause direct mortality but also accidental mortality caused by anthropogenic factors is jeopardizing the future viability of numerous seabird populations.
