Taylor’s theorem approximates the output of a function f ( x ) around a given point, such as x = a , by providing a k-times differentiable function and a polynomial of degree k, which is known as the kth-order Taylor polynomial. In other words, the first-order Taylor polynomial prov...
s shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) population to address the fitness consequences of nest change regarding survival and reproductive success. We used capture–recapture multistate models and the AICc model selection approach to test three hypotheses: breeding failure triggers nest change; nest change ...
