Nest-site characteristics of a Gentoo Penguin Pygoscelis papua colony at Cierva point, Antarctic Peninsula

Nest-site selection of the Gentoo Penguin Pygoscelis papua on the Antarctic Peninsula was analyzed for the 1992/93 breeding season. The importance of 11 habitat variables on nest-site selection was evaluated using stepwise discriminant analysis and comparing their values in both nest sites and rando...
