Growth and survival in macaroni penguin, Eudyptes chrysolophus, A- and B-chicks: do females maximise investment in the large B-egg?
Read more of: Growth and survival in macaroni penguin, Eudyptes chrysolophus, A- and B-chicks: do females maximise investment in the large B-egg?In crested penguins, Eudyptes spp., the first-laid (A) egg is smaller than the second-laid (B) egg and although viable rarely survives to hatching. I studied survival and growth to fledging […]
