We do not know exactly, but we have observed that, at certain localities, nearby colonies showed inverse trends. So, immigration-emigration pattern might explain this. Surely, there are other factors (density-independent) playing a role #WSTC7 #PopSesh1

1 #WSTC7 #PopSesh1 #MagellanicPenguin🐧 is the most abundant #seabird breeding in Argentina. 27 colonies are found in #SantaCruzProvince #ArgentinePatagonia. The last complete census was made in the 90s. We updated the breeding population size of 🐧 in Santa Cruz Province

4 #WSTC7 #PopSesh1 Contrary to what was observed at the north of #ArgentinePatagonia, where the oldest and largest #MagellanicPenguin colonies have declined, in #SantaCruzArgentina most of the largest 🐧 colonies remained stable or even increased since the 90s.
