Foraging habitat and performances of King penguins Aptenodytes patagonicus Miller, 1778 at Kerguelen islands in relation to climatic variability ...
Understanding how climate change affects the foraging ecology of key marine predators is an important issue in the study of Southern Ocean food webs. Since 1998, we have conducted a long term research program on the foraging ecology of a top-diving predator, the King penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus,...
