The Little Penguin Eudyptula Minor in Victoria III. Dispersal of Chicks and Survival After Banding
Abstract
SUMMARYREILLY, P.N., and J.M. CULLEN, 1982. The Little Penguin Eudyptula minor in Victoria, III: Dispersal of chicks and survival after banding. Emu 82: 137–142.Over 8,000 Little Penguins have been banded as chicks in Australia, mainly in the south-east. There have been 201 recoveries of dead birds away from the banding place besides numerous live records at the banding site and elsewhere. The young disperse rapidly after leaving their natal colony, with a strong tendency to move westward from Phillip Island, Victoria, the colony for which there is most information, particularly favouring an area centred on Cape Otway. Birds banded in New South Wales disperse northward and southward along the coast reaching as far as Tasmania in the south and Port Phillip Bay in the south and west.Some young birds return to their natal colonies to moult when one and two years old but their whereabouts in the intervals are not known. Some birds subsequently breed at their natal colony, others moult or breed or do both elsewhere. Survival after banding is influenced by the weight of the chicks at the time of fledging and whether they were raised early or late in the season.

Social contact with adult penguins may have attracted the penguins to the Corner area.
“Little penguins are a highly social species and in the wild live in colonies like all penguin species and thus, it is not surprising that social contact with the adult penguins may have attracted the penguins to the Corner area [65].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
