• Changes in Survival with Age in Three Populations of a Long-lived Seabird, the Atlantic Puffin Fratercula arctica 

      Landsem, Terje Lorentzen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)
      Actuarial senescence is the irreversible decline of survival with increasing age. This phenomenon varies widely between taxa and species along the slow-fast continuum. However, inter-populational senescence differences have been less investigated, especially in the avian order. Here, I compared senescence rate between three contrasting populations of the Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), and ...

      1. Actuarial senescence, the decline of survival with age, is well documented in the wild. Rates of senescence vary widely between taxa, to some extent also between sexes, with the fastest life histories showing the highest rates of senescence. Few studies have investigated differences in senescence among populations of the same species, although such variation is expected from population-level ...
