Ornamental colors reveal age in the king penguin
International audience We investigated whether delayed plumage maturation occurred in king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus). Therefore we examined the relationships between age and sex on spectral properties and size of two colored plumage patches and a UV-reXective beak spot, using known-age coho...
