I was thinking this early vs late breeding dicthomy recently while observing breeding sticklebacks in the inshore at the same time as 'silvery' newcomers kept appearing and the offshore locations still harbored massive stickleback schools (on which migrating salmons feed). With the history in bird studies, my thinking was of course what in the earth (sea?) these fish are still here and not nesting as their conspecifics? I guess there might be some sort evolutonary game going in here. Interesting.
