Rainfall during parental care reduces reproductive and survival components of fitness in a passerine bird

Adverse weather conditions during parental care may have direct consequences for offspring production, but longer‐term effects on juvenile and parental survival are less well known. We used long‐term data on reproductive output, recruitment, and parental survival in northern wheatears ( Oenanthe oenanthe ) to investigate the effects of rainfall during parental care on fledging success, recruitment success (juvenile survival), and parental...
