Artificial nests boost penguin breeding success
Artificial nests can help endangered penguins breed, but design matters
Researchers assessed artificial nests made from four different materials to see which would help boost the population of endangered African penguins the most.
Artificial nests boost penguin breeding success, but there's no one-size-fits-all design
Artificial nests can boost the breeding success of endangered African penguins, but different designs are more effective at different colonies, according to a study by an international team of researchers from South Africa and the UK.
Can artificial nests help save African penguins?
Artificial nests can significantly boost the breeding success of endangered African penguins, but their effectiveness varies.
Artificial nests helping endangered penguins breed better
Artificial nests boost the breeding success of endangered penguins, reveals new research. But there’s no "one-size-fits-all" design that proves ultimately successful, say scientists. Different designs were more effective among different colonies of African penguins, according to the findings of a team of researchers from the UK and South Africa.
Research from University of Exeter Shows Custom Artificial Nests Can Significantly Increase Penguin Breeding Success
Artificial nests can boost the breeding success of endangered African penguins – but different designs are more effective at different colonies, according to a new study by an international team of researchers from South Africa and the UK.
