Penguins are good indicators of environmental changes and respond to oceanographicconditions within their foraging grounds. We studied adult and juvenile Magellanic penguin(Spheniscus magellanicus) trophic niches using stable carbon ( 13C) and nitrogen ( 15N) isotopesand determined their feather mer...
