“…This is because the timing of reproduction is often constrained by environmental conditions and must be short in duration. After depleting energetic capital to support critical life history events, animals must recuperate mass and condition efficiently, for the next year's reproductive efforts (Carlini, Daneri, Marquez, Soave, & Poljak, ), and short‐ and long‐term climate regime shifts that impact local productivity exhibit strong linkages with population pupping rates (Chambert, Rotella, & Garrott, ; Hindell et al, ; Paterson, Rotella, Arrigo, & Garrott, ). Therefore, greater investment of resources or inadequate recovery of energy stores is likely to influence the balance between current and future reproductive success, in which the energy and time devoted to the current reproductive event can impact expected future fecundity due to carry‐over costs (Boggs, ; Desprez et al, ; McMahon, Harcourt, Burton, Daniel, & Hindell, ; Stearns, ).…”
