Swimming with humans
Wildlife tourism can benefit conservation of target species, however, it can have detrimental effects on animal behaviour and physiology. Whale shark Rhincodon typus tourism has seen recent rapid growth globally, but methods and regulations vary widely. Ningaloo Reef, Australia is considered "gold standard" whale shark tourism management due to legal regulation, strict enforcement, and high compliance. Rather than relying on observational data, w…
The over-winter movements of a chinstrap penguin ( Pygoscelis antarctica )
A single chinstrap penguin ( Pygoscelis antarctica ), which had moulted at the South Shetland Islands, was subsequently tracked during 120 days at sea in the austral winter using a global location system (geolocation) based on light intensity. The bird moved east along the Scotia Ridge to a point approximately 300 km west of the South Sandwich Islands and approximately 1600 km away from the colony in which it had moulted. It spent more than 60% o…
Foraging ranges of penguins
Speed/distance meters were deployed on adeliée, gentoo and chinstrap penguins Pygoscelis adeliae, P. papua and P. antarctica , breeding near Anvers Island, Antarctica. Underwater speeds and distances travelled were interspecifically very similar (means of ca. 7–8 km h- 1 and 15–45 km, respectively). These results are compared with published data on penguin behaviour at sea obtained by using identical methodology. A simple model, based on penguin …
