Description
Summary:This dataset contains the results from surveys on the feeding habits of Adelie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) on Bechervaise Island, Mawson, Antarctica. Surveys have been conducted since 1991, and are ongoing to determine the diet composition and prey species of penguins. Data for this project were compiled by Megan Tierney, as part of her PhD Thesis, and are presented in two excel spreadsheets. Also provided in the Related URL section, is a link to a trophic database of "A compilation of dietary and related data from the Southern Ocean". This database contains a large amount of other publicly available diet related data collected as part of the Australian Antarctic program.
