Multiple weather factors affect apparent survival of European passerine birds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Weather affects the demography of animals and thus climate change will cause local changes in demographic rates. In birds numerous studies have correlated demographic factors with weather but few of those examined variation in the impacts of weather in ...

Apparent Survival of Territorial Golden Eagles Using Non‐Invasive Genetic Profiling [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionConservation efforts for large raptors require robust estimates of fecundity, age at maturity and survivorship and population trajectories are often particularly sensitive to change in adult survival rates.

Age‐specific, population‐level pedigree of wild black bears provides insights into reproduction, paternity, and maternal effects on offspring apparent survival [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Wildlife pedigrees provide insights into ecological and evolutionary processes. DNA obtained from noninvasively collected hair is often used to determine individual identities for pedigrees and other genetic analyses.

Detection and apparent survival of PIT-tagged stream fish in winter. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 AbstractEnvironmental fluctuations exert strong control on behavior, survival, and fitness of stream biota. Technical improvements increasingly allow for tracking the response of large numbers of individuals to environmental fluctuations, for instance, by remote detection of animals equipped withPIT(passive integrated transponder) tags.PITtags were ...

The strange survival and apparent resurgence of sociobiology [PDF]
History of the Human Sciences, 2017 A recent dispute between Richard Dawkins and Edward O. Wilson concerning fundamental concepts in sociobiology is examined. It is argued that sociobiology has not fared well since the 1970s, and that its survival as a ‘scientific’ perspective has been ...

Weather Extremes in the Mediterranean Winter Are Associated With Reduced Apparent Survival and Delayed Initiation of Egg‐Laying in a Migratory Raptor [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionClimate change increases the occurrence of extreme weather conditions, affecting ecosystems worldwide but possible impacts of these extremes on biological systems have been insufficiently studied.

Diverse demographic factors influence apparent juvenile survival in a migratory songbird [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2021 To better understand the dynamics of avian populations and their role in population trends, we require an in‐depth understanding of the factors influencing the survival of adults and juveniles.

Apparent survival rates of forest birds in eastern Ecuador revisited: improvement in precision but no change in estimates. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Knowledge of survival rates of Neotropical landbirds remains limited, with estimates of apparent survival available from relatively few sites and species. Previously, capture-mark-recapture models were used to estimate apparent survival of 31 species (30

Apparent survival and cost of reproduction for White-lined Tanager (Tachyphonus rufus, Thraupidae) in the northern Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Understanding latitudinal variation in avian life-history traits has been a focus of many demographic studies around the world. However, we still know little about annual or intra-annual demographic variation within tropical regions or about how factors ...

Estimating apparent survival of songbirds crossing the Gulf of Mexico during autumn migration. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 Many migratory bird species are declining, and the migratory period may limit populations because of the risk in traversing large geographical features during passage. Using automated radio-telemetry, we tracked 139 Swainson's thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) departing coastal Alabama, USA and crossing the Gulf of Mexico to arrive in the Yucatan Peninsula,
