The current highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 panzootic is having substantial impacts on wild birds and marine mammals. Following major widespread outbreaks in South America, an incursion to Antarctica occurred late the austral summer of 2023/2024 was confined region Antarctic Peninsula. To infer potential underlying processes, we compiled surveillance data from sub-Antarctic Islands prior first confirmed cases.
Abstract The current highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 panzootic has substantial impacts on wild birds and marine mammals. Although major outbreaks occurred in South America, incursion to Antarctica emerged late the breeding season of 2023/2024 was confined wider region Antarctic Peninsula. To infer potential underlying processes, we compiled surveillance from Sub-Antarctic Islands prior first confirmed cases.
Abstract According to the ‘selfish herd’ hypothesis, most seabird species breed colonially so that individuals can decrease their risk of predation by forming compact groups. However, costs and benefits associated with colonial breeding may not be evenly distributed among within a colony. At Adélie penguin colonies, nesting on periphery subcolonies (distinct groups nests) experience higher rates nest south polar skuas, thus optimal aggregation pattern for penguins minimize proportion edge...
