TI  - Demographic consequences of heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants in a 
      vulnerable long-lived bird, the wandering albatross.

AB  - Seabirds are top predators of the marine environment that accumulate contaminants 
      over a long life-span. Chronic exposure to pollutants is thought to compromise 
      survival rate and long-term reproductive outputs in these long-lived organisms, 
      thus inducing population decline. However, the demographic consequences of 
      contaminant exposure are largely theoretical because of the dearth of long-term 
      datasets. This study aims to test whether adult survival rate, return to the 
      colony and long-term breeding performance were related to blood mercury (Hg), 
      cadmium (Cd) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), by using a 
      capture-mark-recapture dataset on the vulnerable wandering albatross Diomedea 
      exulans. We did not find evidence for any effect of contaminants on adult 
      survival probability. However, blood Hg and POPs negatively impacted long-term 
      breeding probability, hatching and fledging probabilities. The proximate 
      mechanisms underlying these deleterious effects are likely multifaceted, through 
      physiological perturbations and interactions with reproductive costs. Using 
      matrix population models, we projected a demographic decline in response to an 
      increase in Hg or POPs concentrations. This decline in population growth rate 
      could be exacerbated by other anthropogenic perturbations, such as climate 
      change, disease and fishery bycatch. This study gives a new dimension to the 
      overall picture of environmental threats to wildlife populations.
