Breeding biology of the Royal Penguin (Eudypted chrysolophus)at Macquarie Island 1955-1969

The data are contained in a number of log books in hand written form (now scanned onto CD ROM. They were gathered according to a protocol updated annually by the Principal Investigator, DR Robert Carrick (now deceased). Details are contained in the paper Carrick R (1972) Population ecology of the Australian black-backed magpie, royal penguin, and silver gull. in: Population ecology of migratory birds - A symposium. US Dept of the Interior, Fish and wildlife service. Wildlife Research Report 2. pp 41-99. The only other information on the Royal penguin population to come from these investigations is the PhD Thesis of G.T. Smith, Studies on the behaviour and reproduction of the Royal penguin Eudyptes chrysolophus schlegeli. Australian National University April 1970.

The log books contain a vast array of observations on the Royal penguin. Major observations/studies include banding of chicks and adults, breeding chronology, egg laying, breeding success, arrival weights, movements within and between colonies.

The protocols for the collection of the data are missing although some instructions and notes are included in the volumes.

Some data have also been entered into an excel spreadsheet.

Resource lineage

Statement: Data gathered over a number of seasons by different technical and scientific staff under the supervision of the PI Dr Robert Carrick. Care should be taken in using banding data for population studies since search effort uneven through and between seasons. Not also several different bands were used and often replaced. Tracking individual birds over time may be difficult until a consolidated data base on bands used is established. (K.R.Kerry and M.D. Murray). Data were entered into the excel spreadsheet by Sarah Park.

Hierarchy level: Dataset

Maintenance and update frequency: As needed

Maintenance note: 2009-01-16 - record updated by Dave Connell to make Excel spreadsheet available. 2019-06-20 - record updated by Dave Connell - basic updates.
