Table S1. Breeding success – model selection – SOUTHERN FULMAR – Each model is presented with the explanatory variable included: 1=cst, no effect of age; age, linear effect of age; age2, quadratic effect of age; log(age), logarithmic effect of age; T1, T2, model with one threshold (two slopes); T1, T2, T3, model with two thresholds (three slopes); bsann, inter-annual variations in breeding success; soi, southern oscillation index;sieautumn, sea ice extent values for autumn; * stands for interaction. AIC-difference with the best model (ΔAIC) are presented together with the corresponding AIC weight (AICw).
