Entry ID: 040-87_01

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The data set contains information about the ecology of the pygoscelidos
penguins (Papua, adelie and antarctic). These data consist of a census of
nesting groups, chick weight gain, and chick mortality due to predators,
reproduction chronology, and spatial distribution of nesting groups and chick
weight at the time of feathering. This information has been collected on the
Ardley Peninsula, South Shetland Island. Data was also collected, on the Munita
Peninsula, Paradise Bay.
