Adélie Penguin Foraging Location Predicted by Tidal Regime Switching
Penguin foraging and breeding success depend on broad-scale environmental and local-scale hydrographic features of their habitat. We investigated the effect of local tidal currents on a population of Adélie penguins on Humble Is., Antarctica. We used satellite-tagged penguins, an autonomous underwater vehicle, and historical tidal records to model of penguin foraging locations over ten seasons....
متن کاملAdélie Penguin Population Diet Monitoring by Analysis of Food DNA in Scats
The Adélie penguin is the most important animal currently used for ecosystem monitoring in the Southern Ocean. The diet of this species is generally studied by visual analysis of stomach contents; or ratios of isotopes of carbon and nitrogen incorporated into the penguin from its food. There are significant limitations to the information that can be gained from these methods. We evaluated popul...
متن کاملRe-Constructing Historical Adélie Penguin Abundance Estimates by Retrospectively Accounting for Detection Bias
Seabirds and other land-breeding marine predators are considered to be useful and practical indicators of the state of marine ecosystems because of their dependence on marine prey and the accessibility of their populations at breeding colonies. Historical counts of breeding populations of these higher-order marine predators are one of few data sources available for inferring past change in mari...
متن کاملKrill biomass and aggregation structure in relation to tidal cycle in a penguin foraging region off the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Antarctic krill are a key component of the diet of Adélie penguins inhabiting theWestern Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), yet our understanding of the variability of krill distribution patterns within nearshore penguin feeding grounds is limited. A recent study of the foraging patterns of penguins breeding in the northern WAP suggests that tidal phase plays a role in foraging distance. We used acoust...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Enterococcus faecalis Strain PF3, Isolated from Adélie Penguin Feces from Antarctica
Enterococcus faecalis is one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections and is a common commensal organism in humans and other animals. In this study, we report a draft genome sequence for the E. faecalis strain PF3, isolated from Adélie penguin feces collected from Warriner Island, Antarctica.
