Investigating two consecutive catastrophic breeding seasons in a large king penguin colony
Abstract Large-scale breeding failures, such as offspring die-offs, can disproportionately impact wildlife populations that are characterized by a few large colonies. However, breeding monitoring—and thus investigations of such die-offs—is especially challenging in species with long reproductive cyc...
