Despite many studies on Adélie penguin breeding phenology, understanding the drivers of clutch initiation dates (CIDs, egg 1 lay date) is limited or lacks consensus. Here, we investigated Adélie penguin CIDs over 25years (1991-2016) on two neighboring islands, Torgersen and Humble (<1km apart), i...
