             abstract = "The species Spheniscus magellanicus, popularly known as the 
                         Magellanic penguin, is the most common penguin species in the 
                         Brazilian coast. Its strandings are related to several causes, 
                         ranging from fishing interaction, diseases, anthropic pressures, 
                         to the occurrence of storms and extreme weather events. These 
                         different phenomena can affect the species search for food, their 
                         physical conditioning and survival, and can lead individuals to 
                         death. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the 
                         effects of environmental variables on the strandings of Magellanic 
                         penguins that occurred at Ilha Comprida, in the southern coast of 
                         S{\~a}o Paulo State, Brazil, between 1998 and 2016. Strandings 
                         data were collected at the monthly frequency using beach 
                         monitoring techniques. Monthly averages of the environmental 
                         variables wave height (WH), sea level pressure (SLP), wind 
                         intensity (WI) and sea surface temperature (SST) were also 
                         obtained from various sources. The methodology applied here 
                         consisted of a preliminary correlation analysis and a subsequent 
                         multiple regression analysis using Generalized Linear Models (GLM) 
                         with binomial distribution. The results demonstrated that there is 
                         a relationship between the combined effect of the increase in SLP 
                         and the decrease in SST with the number of strandings. The 
                         strandings, as expected, were also associated with the migratory 
                         period of the species and their occurrence in the study area. The 
                         results provided new knowledge about the factors, mainly 
                         non-anthropogenic, that can lead to the stranding of Magellanic 
                         penguins on the study area, contributing to future initiatives for 
                         animal conservation and preservation.",
