Quantifying the ecological factors under-pinning population trends in crested penguins

As part of a cooperative study 25 Rockhopper Penguins were equipped in December 2019 on Hummock Island, Falkland Islands, with Geolocators (GLS) to follow their year-round movements. Of those, 24 GLS were recovered in November 2024.
