5. Variation in foraging effort by lactating Antarctic fur seals: response to simulated increased foraging costs

   Abstract:  Seasonally breeding predators, which are limited in the. time available for provisioning young at a central location, and by the fasting abilities of the young, are likely to maximize energy delivery to the young by maximizing the rate of energy delivery averaged over the whole period of

6. Fish and squid in the diet of king penguin chicks, Aptenodytes patagonicus, during winter at sub-Antarctic Crozet Islands

   Abstract:  The diet of king penguins, Aptenodytes patagonicus, rearing chicks was studied during three consecutive austral winters (1990, 1991 and 1992) at Crozet Islands. The mean stomach content mass of the 47 samples was 503 g. Percentages of wet and reconstituted masses showed that both fishes

7. Diet and feeding ecology of the diving petrels Pelecanoides georgicus and P. urinatrix at South Georgia

   Abstract:  The diet of the diving petrels Pelecanoides georgicus and P. urinatrix was studied during 1986 (P. georgicus) and 1987 (both species) by lavaging adults as they returned to feed chicks on Bird Island, South Georgia. The diet of both species was dominated by crustaceans. in particular

8. Milk consumption and growth efficiency in Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) pups

   Abstract:  The body composition, milk consumption, and growth efficiency of Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) pups were measured over three consecutive lactation periods (1990-1992) at Bird Island, South Georgia. The body composition of pups differed between the sexes; whereas for any

9. Interannual variation in the diet of the Antarctic prion Pachyptila desolata at South Georgia

   Abstract:  The diet of the Antarctic Prion Pachyptila desolata was examined using food samples regurgitated by adult birds during five breeding seasons at Bird Island, South Georgia. In all years the diet was mainly crustaceans, with a small proportion of myctophid fish and trace amounts of
