Bertram, D. F., I. L. Jones, E. C. Cooch, H. A. Knechtel, and F. Cooke. 2000. Abstract: We estimated survival of Cassin’s Auklet (Ptychoramphus aleuticus) and Rhinoceros Auklet (Cerorhinca monocerata) from recapture rates during 1994-1997. For both species, a two “age”-class model provided the best fit. Estimates of local adult survival were significantly lower for
