Comparison of the long bone microstructure of two southern African marine birds, the Cape gannet (Morus capensis) and the African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) with respect to their aquatic adaptations
The Cape gannet (Morus capensis) and the African penguin (Spheniscus demersus) have distinct aquatic adaptations for locomotion.
