The Influence of Alternate Life History Strategies and Natal Conditions on the Reproductive Performance of Adélie Penguins Breeding on Ross Island, Antarctica

Creator:

Kappes, Peter J.

Abstract:

A fundamental objective of ecology and population biology is to identify factors that drive population dynamics and determine the population-level consequences of their interaction with the environment. Studies of reproductive performance can illuminate population dynamic processes, including the links between organismal biology, the environment, and life history theory. A central...
