Divorce in king penguins: asynchrony, expensive fat storing and ideal free mate choice
Read more of: Divorce in king penguins: asynchrony, expensive fat storing and ideal free mate choiceIn long-lived and monogamous species, with partners separated between breeding seasons, the previous mate usually returns and waiting is therefore rewarded, thus contributing to mate retention as an adaptive strategy. […]

Antarctic HF radar observations of irregularities associated with polar patches and auroral blobs: A case study
Read more of: Antarctic HF radar observations of irregularities associated with polar patches and auroral blobs: A case studyWe report a case study of decameter-scale electron density irregularities associated with polar cap patches and auroral (boundary) blobs in the southern high-latitude F region ionosphere. The observations were carried […]
