Funded Activity Summary
Conservation of the Little Penguin. The Little Penguin is a unique bird of high tourism and community appeal. Unfortunately, Little Penguin breeding colonies are highly susceptible to extinction from localised perturbations. We will provide essential information for the development of effective colony-specific management plans. We will identify colonies of greatest extinction risk by determining the extent that they will be supplemented by immigrants in the event of a decline, and how few individuals produce offspring which in turn go on to reproduce. We will also infer the recent history of colony sizes such that contemporary changes in abundances can be interpreted.Funded Activity Details
