Summary:
- Seabirds, such as albatrosses and petrels, are more likely to divorce their mates if they experience bad weather during the breeding season.
- Researchers found that seabirds that experienced more stormy weather were less likely to remain paired with the same partner the following year, compared to seabirds that had more favorable weather conditions.
- This suggests that bad weather can disrupt the pair-bonding process in seabirds, leading to increased rates of divorce, which can have negative impacts on their reproductive success and survival.
