Intertidal foraging by gentoo penguins in a macroalgal raft
Foraging strategies in gentoo penguins ( Pygoscelis papua ) have been well studied (e.g. Croxall et al. 1988, Robinson & Hindell 1996, Lescroël et al. 2004, Takahashi et al. 2008, Xavier et al. 2017). The general consensus is this largest member of the three pygoscelid penguins displays both nea...

Foraging strategies in gentoo penguins ( Pygoscelis papua ) have been well studied (e.g. Croxall et al. 1988, Robinson & Hindell 1996, Lescroël et al. 2004, Takahashi et al. 2008, Xavier et al. 2017).

In a recent study, Carpenter-Kling et al.

In this paper, we describe what we believe to be, yet another undocumented foraging tactic employed by gentoos. |
