Although the same months of rainfall best-predicting divorce were also significantly correlated with our markers of reproductive success, we found no significant correlation between reproductive success and divorce, leading us to discuss other possible drivers. 4/5

All in all, we add to the growing body of literature showing that environmental conditions influence the stability of socially monogamous partnerships and provide novel insights that may also be important for conservation efforts in times of climate change. 5/5

So happy and proud to see this out! A truly tragic story..

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

Then, we studied divorcing using long-term data of SeychellesWarbler 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
