1. Warming effects in the Western Antarctic Peninsula Ecosystem: the role of population dynamic models for explaining and predicting penguin trends

   developed simple conceptual models for decipher the role of climate and krill fluctuations on the population ... dynamics of these three pygoscelid penguin species inhabiting the Antarctic Peninsula region. Our results ... suggest that the relevant processes underlying the population dynamics of these penguin species at King ... George Island (Antarctic Peninsula) are intra-specific competition and the combined effects of krill ...

2. Global relationships amongst black-browed albatrosses: analysis of population structure using mtDNA and microsatellites

   Abstract:  The population structure of black-browed (Thalassarche melanophris and T. impavida) and ... five island groups in the Southern Ocean. High levels of sequence divergence were found in both taxa ... (T. impavida). T. melanophris from Campbell Island contain birds from each of the three groups ... , indicating high levels of mixture and hybridization. In contrast, grey-headed albatrosses form one globally ...
