Despite concerted international effort to track and interpret shifts in the abundance distribution of Adélie penguins, large populations continue be identified. Here we report on a major hotspot penguin identified Danger Islands off northern tip Antarctic Peninsula (AP). We present first complete census Pygoscelis spp. penguins Islands, estimated from multi-modal survey consisting direct ground counts computer-automated unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery. Our reveals that host 751,527...
The rapid pace and potentially irreversible consequences of global change create an urgent need to predict the spatial responses biota for conservation better inform prioritization management terrestrial habitats prevent future extinctions. Here, we provide accessible entry point field guide near-future work building predictive species distribution models (SDMs) by synthesizing a technical framework proactive avian biodiversity. Our offers useful approach navigate challenges surrounding...
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 to build colonies successfully chicks while surrounding environment serves foraging grounds adult birds. Penguins must be able navigate through waters around forage Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ), primary prey summer. Krill, whose distributions are driven partially by physics...
Pleistocene climate cycles are well documented to have shaped contemporary species distributions and genetic diversity. Northward range expansions in response deglaciation following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; approximately 21 000 years ago) surmised led population size terrestrial taxa changes seasonal migratory behaviour. Recent findings, however, suggest that some northern temperate populations may been more stable than expected through LGM. We modelled demographic history of 19...
Abstract Many species are shifting their ranges in response to climate‐driven environmental changes, particularly high‐latitude regions. However, the patterns of dispersal and colonization during range events not always clear. Understanding how populations connected through space time can reveal navigate a changing environment. Here, we present fine‐scale population genomics study gentoo penguins ( Pygoscelis papua ), presumed site‐faithful colonial nesting that has increased size expanded...
Abstract Pelagic seabirds are highly mobile, reducing opportunities for population isolation that might promote differentiation and speciation. At the same time, many philopatric, their tendency to return natal islands breed reduce gene flow sufficiently permit local adaptation differentiation. To test net impact of these competing processes, estimates based on comprehensive geographical sampling required. We leveraged diverse source material achieve in a widespread seabird, Wedge-tailed...
Abstract Understanding the mechanisms of site colonization and range expansion is crucial to understanding population dynamics, particularly for colonial seabirds that may struggle shift their breeding ranges under climate change. We provide an alternative simple approach estimating number migrating individuals among colonies when original mark–recapture datasets are not available use in more integrated established methods. Here we fit age-structured model with published vital rates success...
