Human-animal interaction in the Antarctic: an animal behaviour approach to human disturbance of penguin colonies ...
Human disturbance of Antarctic penguins is an important aspect of Antarctic conservation. It is a phenomenon which has raised concern for several decades, and has prompted the creation of guidelines for human behaviour which aim to minimise disturbance to these and other Antarctic animals. Disturban...
