Description
Genovart and co-authors study how wintering choices shape survival in a long-lived seabird. Their 2024 paper tracks Cory's shearwaters over more than two decades. The birds migrate to distinct winter areas, and those choices may carry distinct risks. New trackers show winter moves, but on few birds, which limits firm survival math.
The team joined 147 winter tracks with capture histories for 1,104 birds from 2000 to 2022. Birds showed strong loyalty to their winter area, shifting mainly with a climate index. Survival differed by winter area and with a second climate index. Loyal birds in poor areas thus carried lower survival for years. The authors link winter ocean weather and food upwellings to that gap and call for more study of climate and individual state.
