Abstract

Abstract Survival of Brown Boobies (Sula leucogaster) at Johnston Atoll was examined over a 17-year period using capture-mark-recapture analysis. Annual adult survival was estimated to be 0.90 ± 0.01 (SE). Variation in survival did not correspond to either local environmental fluctuation or more widespread disturbances associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillation events, and a time-invariant model of survival was best supported by our data. Absence of major oceanographic anomalies in the immediate vicinity of Johnston Atoll may contribute to relatively high and invariant survival in Brown Boobies.
