Phenology and reproductive biology of the southern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome) at Isla Pingüino (Santa Cruz Province, Argentina)
Abstract:An essential trait to study population ecology of any species is reproduction, including parental care. In marine birds, these behaviors are well de ned and stereotyped. Our study focused on analyzing those of the southern rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome), aiming to describe the breeding aspects of life history of the population of Isla Pingüino, Argentina. This species inhabits isolated, hardly accessible areas, which makes knowledge about them scarce. Here, we implemented a novel methodol… Show more
