Mean standardized body mass (±s.e.) of male (solid lines) and female (dashed lines) little penguins in each inter-breeding season period (moult-recovery (MR), winter (July) (W), pre-breeding (PB)) of 7 years (2002–2008) at Phillip Island, Australia. The dotted line at zero provides a reference to the standard body mass for males and females throughout the study.
