In long-lived species, reproductive skipping is a common strategy whereby sexually mature animals skip breeding season, potentially reducing population growth. This may be an adaptive decision to protect survival, or non-adaptive driven by individual-specific constraints. Understanding the presence and drivers of behavior can important for effective management, yet in many species such as endangered African penguin (
