Summary
Abstract: Long term studies of the impacts of human disturbance on adelie penguins using a range of key behavioural, ecological and physiological measures are required to establish logical management regimes as ecotourism in Antarctica increases. This study examined changes in a wide range of behavioural (e.g. alarm, aggressive and sexual behaviour), ecological (e.g. the timing and synchrony of key events ... View entire text
