Abstract Sexual size dimorphism in the Cape petrel Daption capense was analysed to improve methods for sexing live birds in field studies. Samples originated from two geographically distant study populations in the Antarctic: Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands (sample N: 83 M, 89 F), and Ardery a...
