Habitat preferences of Adélie and chinstrap penguins during pre-moult
pre-moult had low predictive power. This indicates that predictive models may be insufficient to ... variation in their current distribution. With this in mind, we used Platform Terminal Transmitter (PTT ... phase of the annual cycle. We show that Adélie penguins have an affinity to forage and moult on sea-ice ... , and that chinstraps remain over the shallower shelf waters during pre-moult, and return to the colony ...

Changes in population size of large Procellariiformes breeding in the French sub-Antarctic islands: potential influence of southern fisheries and particularly long lining
indicate that most albatross and giant petrel populations have markedly declined. Demographic studies ... indicate that these declines are mainly the result of increased adult mortality. This high rate of ... mortality has been suspected to be the result of mortality incurred in long-line fisheries. Satellite ... tracking studies of breeding birds and band recoveries of non breeding birds indicate that during and ...
