Then, we studied divorcing using long-term data of @seychelleswarbler.bsky.social addressing all these shortcomings, and found that divorce is related to male age, pair-bond tenure, and reproductive success, but that there are no strong fitness consequences to divorce

We addressed 5 shortcomings: (1) divorcees and widows and (2) initiators and victims of divorce are not disentangled, (3) consequences of divorce and widowhood are not studied together (4) long-term consequences and (5) age-dependency of divorce are not addressed

In 1988, 1990, 2004 and 2011 new populations were established by translocation on the islands of Aride, Cousine, Denis and Fregate respectively. We now have over 3000 birds on five islands making the Seychelles warbler an outstanding conservation success story.
