Phenology, the study of stages within the life cycles of plants and animals, has served as a
proxy for weather and climate throughout human history, but has only recently become its …

The relationship between Adélie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) and ice is well established,
with sea ice influencing penguin populations through a variety of processes operating at …

The population dynamics of Antarctic seabirds are influenced by variations in winter sea ice
extent and persistence; however, the type of relationship differs according to the region and …

Evidence of climate‐change‐driven shifts in plant and animal phenology have raised
concerns that certain trophic interactions may be increasingly mismatched in time, resulting …

Reproductive success is an important demographic parameter that can be driven by
environmental and behavioural factors operating on various spatio‐temporal scales. As …

The fledging mass of penguin chicks can be an indicator of food availability and
environmental conditions at a penguin colony. For the period 1989 to 2011, we analyzed …

Penguins naturally fast each year during breeding and again whilst moulting, and may lose
more than 40% of body mass during a fast. Fasting in emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri) and …

Drastic climate change is widely believed to threaten the ecological security of penguins.
Previous studies have concluded that penguins on the Scott Coast, southern Ross Sea …

Identifying the factors influencing seabird breeding output is critical for their conservation
because breeding performance in turn influences population dynamics. This is particularly …

Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs) predict changes in the sea ice
environment and in atmospheric precipitations over larger areas of Antarctica. These …
