Abstract
Log linear regressions of breeder numbers of African penguins over 1996-2005 for Robben Island and the Western Cape as a whole (ASWS/JUL07/PENG/DAT/1, Table 1) reflect annual increase rates of 11.4% and 9.6% respectively. How consistent are these values with separate estimates of demographic parameters for the species?
