title: Adelie penguin diet composition, preliminary analyses of whole lavaged samples, 1991 - 2017.

description: The fundamental long-term objective of the seabird component of the Palmer LTER (PAL) has been to identify and understand the mechanistic processes that regulate the mean fitness (population growth rate) of regional penguin populations. Two hypotheses have guided this research, with one suggesting that population mean fitness is best explained by changes in regional krill biomass, and the other proposing that long-term changes in sea ice affects mean fitness by tipping the balance in favor of one species over another in accordance with species-specific evolved life history affinities to sea ice. Although these hypotheses are not mutually exclusive, current evidence in the PAL region tends to favor the latter over the former. Since the inception of PAL, Adélie penguin populations have effectively collapsed, while those of gentoo and chinstrap penguins have increased dramatically, trends that are spatially and temporally coherent with decreasing regional sea ice duration. Adélie penguins are an ice-obligate polar species whose life history is intimately linked to the presence of sea ice, while chinstrap and gentoo penguins are ice-intolerant species whose life histories evolved in the sub-Antarctic, where sea ice is a less permanent feature of the marine ecosystem. In contrast, although krill constitute the most important component of the summer diets by mass of these three penguin species, changes in PAL krill abundances have exhibited no long-term trends, and thus fail to explain the divergent patterns in penguin populations evident in our time series. Adélie penguin diet samples obtained in the field (see HEADER) are initially drained and weighed and returned to laboratories for further processing. This includes resuspension of the samples in fresh water to release fish otoliths, squid beaks and other prey hard parts, and then draining to a consistency that facilitates separating the diet samples into subsamples of primary and secondary prey components. Primary prey components include krill and fish, and secondary prey components include octopus, squid amphipods, mysid shrimp, limpets and small clams. Each prey component is weighed (total weight) and, if possible, sorted according to species for further analyses. Variability in diets within and between seasons is strongly linked to variability in the marine environment such as the presence or absence of sea ice and the timing and persistence of phytoplankton blooms, and thus affects a host of Adélie penguin life history parameters.

The PAL study region includes five main islands on which Adélie penguin colonies have historically occurred. These are censused synoptically once a year to determine the overall size of the breeding population. The optimal census date may vary by a few days each season, but ultimately tries to capture the week following peak egg laying when the total number of breeding pairs reaches a maximum. The timing of this census is assisted by the REPRO and HUMPOP data, which provide a daily to weekly rate of change in breeding adult population numbers as new nests are initiated. This census is useful for a number of assessments, one of the most critical being that it directly reflects the effects of environmental variability on adult overwinter survival.

The PAL study region includes five main islands on which Adélie penguin colonies have historically occurred, and typically during the first week of January when chicks are in the guard stage (thus visible because they are no longer being brooded), these colonies are censused to determine the ratio of 1-chick to 2-chick nests. This census is restricted to nests that are no more than one meter in from the colony perimeter, and therefore tend to be more vulnerable to predation and other factors such as snow deposition that tend to affect the more marginal sectors of the colonies. The 1:2 chick ratio is thus highly sensitive to perturbations that are not necessarily evident in more optimal breeding habitats, and has provided important insights on the effects that breeding landscape quality has on reproductive success.

These are censused synoptically once a year to determine the total number of chicks produced in the area. The optimal date for this census may vary by a few days each season, but ultimately tries to capture the week following the time when approximately 2/3 of the chicks have crèched. The timing of this census is assisted by the REPRO data, which provide a daily to weekly rate of change in the number of crèched chicks. Because the colonies used in this area-wide census are the same as those used to determine the overall annual breeding population, one of the key metrics obtained is an integrated number of breeding success (chicks crèched/breeding pair). These data have provided valuable insights into the marine and terrestrial factors that influence Adélie penguin mean population fitness.

Adélie penguin chick fledging weights are obtained every two days (or as ice and weather conditions permit) at three beaches on Humble Island beginning when the first fledglings appear on any one of these beaches, and continuing until the last fledglings depart. These data are generally collected during the first three weeks of February by first censusing the total number of chicks present on each beach, and then sub-sampling 30% of the censused population. The metric of interest is the weight (in grams) of individual chicks, which is an important predictor of overwinter survival and thus future recruitment into the population as breeding adults.

title: Adelie penguin diet composition, fish species and numbers, 1991 - present.

In contrast, although krill constitute the most important component of the summer diets by mass of these three penguin species, changes in PAL krill abundances have exhibited no long-term trends, and thus fail to explain the divergent patterns in penguin populations evident in our time series. Fish occur frequently in Adélie penguin diets but rarely as whole specimens, hence recording their presence in sorted subsamples (see DIET) is generally limited to noting the incidence of skin, flesh, bones, eyes and especially otoliths. With the exception of otoliths, the weights of these items are obtained if warranted by the sample size. Otoliths can be used to identify individual fish species, and in combination with regression equations based on otolith length and width, can also be used to reconstitute fish length and mass. However, because the expertise needed to identify fish from otoliths does not exist within the PAL program, otolith identification is performed by off-site experts as time and funding allow. This results in long lags between the time otoliths are collected and integrated with the appropriate databases, meaning that understanding the role of fish in Adélie penguin diets still remains a longer-term objective of PAL.
