Activity Time Budget during Foraging Trips of Emperor Penguins
We developed an automated method using depth and one axis of body acceleration data recorded by animal-borne data loggers to identify activities of penguins over long-term deployments. Using this technique, we evaluated the activity time budget of emperor penguins (n = 10) both in water and on sea ice during foraging trips in chick-rearing season. During the foraging trips, emperor penguins alt...
متن کاملSexual and individual foraging segregation in Gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua from the Southern Ocean during an abnormal winter
Knowledge about sexual segregation and gender-specific, or indeed individual specialization, in marine organisms has improved considerably in the past decade. In this context, we tested the "Intersexual Competition Hypothesis" for penguins by investigating the feeding ecology of Gentoo penguins during their austral winter non-breeding season. We considered this during unusual environmental cond...
متن کاملModelling Group-Foraging Behaviour with Particle Swarms
Abstract. Despite the many features that the behaviour of the standard particle swarm algorithm shares with grouping behaviour in animals (e.g. social attraction and communication between individuals), this biologically inspired technique has been mainly used in classical optimisation problems (i.e. finding the optimal value in a fitness landscape). We present here a novel application for parti...
متن کاملGeographic variation in the foraging behaviour, diet and chick growth of rockhopper penguins
The foraging ecology of rockhopper penguins was investigated at 3 sites marked by contrasting ecological conditions. The northern subspecies was studied at Amsterdam Island (AMS) in oceanic subtropical waters, and the southern subspecies at the Kerguelen Archipelago (KER) in a subantarctic coastal habitat and at the Crozet Archipelago (CRO) in subantarctic neritic waters. During the brooding pe...
متن کاملAt-Sea Associations in Foraging Little Penguins
Prey distribution, patch size, and the presence of conspecifics are important factors influencing a predator's feeding tactics, including the decision to feed individually or socially. Little is known about group behaviour in seabirds as they spend most of their lives in the marine environment where it is difficult to observe their foraging activities. In this study, we report on at-sea foragin...
