Abstract: Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) undergo complete molt shortly after the breeding season. Unlike most penguins, Adélies typically molt on the sea ice rather than on land, with molt lasting up to 3 weeks. Limited mobility and increased metabolic rate during this period create an energet...
