Pygoscelis penguins prefer different oceanographic and terrestrial habitats during the austral summer

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Pygoscelis penguins interact with both terrestrial and marine environments, especially during the austral summer when they raise their chicks. Accessible ice‐free ground spaces serve as locations for penguins to build colonies and successfully raise chicks while the surrounding marine environment serves as the foraging grounds for adult birds.

Changes in lichen diversity and community structure with fur seal population increase on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Signy Island has experienced a dramatic increase in fur seal numbers over recent decades, which has led to the devastation of lowland terrestrial vegetation, with the eradication of moss turfs and carpets being the most prominent feature.

Parental Quality and Selection on Egg Size in the Magellanic Penguin [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1990
We examined the relative contributions of egg size and parental quality to hatching success, fledging success, and chick growth in the Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) be exchanging clutches between nests to reduce the covariation between egg and parental factors.

Potential Spatial Mismatches Between Marine Predators and Their Prey in the Southern Hemisphere in Response to Climate Change

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
Global change is reshaping marine habitats, altering predator–prey interactions and food web dynamics. Using Boosted Regression Trees, we assess habitat suitability shifts for crustaceans, fish, penguins, and pinnipeds across three Southern Hemisphere regions from 1850 to 2100 under two climate scenarios.

Breeding Partners Have Dissimilar Foraging Strategies in a Long‐Lived Arctic Seabird

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
In long‐lived species with biparental care, such as the thick‐billed murre, coordination of foraging strategies between mates may be crucial for raising offspring. This study found that breeding partners had dissimilar foraging behaviors, such as trip distance and dive numbers, compared to randomized pairs, yet they were more similar in wing length ...

The decline of Falkland Islands penguins in the presence of a commercial fishing industry La disminución de los pingüinos de las Islas Falklands en la presencia de actividades de pesca comercial

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2002
The Falkland Islands are an important breeding site for three species of penguin, gentoo (Pygoscelis papua), southern rockhopper (Eudyptes c. chrysocome) and Magellanic penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus).
