WG-EMM-2021

To identify the dietary composition and characteristics of both Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) at four breeding sites, we performed stable carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) isotope analysis of down of penguin chicks. Adélie penguin chicks at Cape Hallett mostly fed on Antarctic krill (Eupausia superba; 65. Read More

As the most abundant penguin species, the diet of Adélie penguin, Pygoscelis adeliae, would be one of the most important indicators for the ecosystem conditions where they inhabit. The diet of seven Adélie penguin populations in the Ross Sea was studied using both metabarcoding and quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses. 18Sv9 and miniFish primers provided the overall diet compositions and accurate Read More

Information on marine predator at-sea distributions is a key component of spatial management frameworks that aim to identify regions important for conservation. Tracking data from seabirds have been widely used to define priority areas for conservation, but such data are often restricted to the breeding population. This also applies to penguins in Antarctica, where identification of important Read More
