United States Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska Maritime National Wildlife RefugeSurvival estimates are needed for population models, and have been shown to be a particularly sensitive parameter in long-lived seabirds. Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuges estimates and detect trends in average overwinter survival rates for adult least auklets (LEAU) on St. George Island. Annual survival of least auklets apparently covaries with broad-scale climate patterns (e.g., Jones et al. 2002) and is intended to provide insight into causes of population change.Capture data for AMNWR Least Auklet Survival Data. A record of the information collected while the bird was in hand.The captures table relates to the events table on the parentglobalid field (globalid in events), with many capture records per each event.Data collected during a capture event.In workAs needed-169.815812-169.38070556.65682956.49904Noneseabirdsurvivalpopulation monitoringISO 19115 Topic CategoriesbiotaNoneAlaska Maritime National Wildlife RefugeSt. George IslandAlaskaNoneNoneUSFW R7 Alaska Maritime National Wildlife RefugeMatthew RustandBiologistmailingHomerAK99603USmatthew_rustand@fws.govUSFWS R7 I&MCaylen CumminsData managermailingAnchorageAK99503UScaylen_cummins@fws.govUSFWS R1, R7 & R8 Pacific Seabird ProgramRebecca ScullyData managermailingUnderwoodWA98651USrebecca_scully@fws.govUSFWS R1, R7 & R8 Pacific Seabird ProgramMarc RomanoCoordinatormailingAnchorageAK99503USmarc_romano@fws.govcapatureData related to a banding capture event.dispositionCode to provide information concerning the condition and disposition of the bird and band at the time of the encounter.
