海鳗数量的减少会导致海鸟生育能力下降,也就是说,繁殖鸟以及一些重要的鸟类数量会继续减少。 对此,自然保护主义者表示密切的关注。
Conservationists are concerned the drop in productivity, as a result of a lack of sandeels, will mean fewer breeding birds and continued decline of key species.
它们的繁殖很慢,近五年才生育一次。
They breed very slowly, they breed once throughout about five years.
“我想有些人认为这不怎么重要的原因,就是在社会生物学的观点看来,不管在什么时候,只要能成功生育和繁殖下一代就行了。”东卡罗莱纳大学人类学系的学科带头人琳达·沃芙如是说。
everything had to be tied to reproduction and reproductive success," said Linda Wolfe, who heads the Department of Anthropology at East Carolina University.
