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.

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 can significantly boost the breeding success of endangered African penguins, but their effectiveness varies.

Different designs were more effective among different colonies of penguins. The post Artificial nests helping endangered penguins breed better appeared first on Talker.
