Climate change and marine vertebrates
Climate change impacts on vertebrates have consequences for marine ecosystem structures
and services. We review marine fish, mammal, turtle, and seabird responses to climate …

Observed and predicted effects of climate on Australian seabirds
Although there is growing evidence of climate warming, for many regions the broader effects
of climate variation on marine top predators remains unknown owing to the difficulty in …

Impacts of marine heatwaves may be mediated by seabird life history strategies
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are periods of anomalously warm water associated with
changes in ocean structure, based on the horizontal advection of water masses and …

El Niño in the Warm Tropics: local sea temperature predicts breeding parameters and growth of blue‐footed boobies
S Ancona, S Sánchez‐Colón… - Journal of Animal …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
There is increasing interest in the impacts of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on

Carry-over body mass effect from winter to breeding in a resident seabird, the little penguin
Using body mass and breeding data of individual penguins collected continuously over 7
years (2002–2008), we examined carry-over effects of winter body mass on timing of laying …

Plasticity in foraging strategies of inshore birds: how little penguins maintain body reserves while feeding offspring
C Saraux, SM Robinson-Laverick, Y Le Maho… - Ecology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Breeding animals face important time and energy constraints when caring for themselves
and their offspring. For long‐lived species, life‐history theory predicts that parents should …

Diet segregation between two colonies of little penguins Eudyptula minor in southeast Australia
We studied foraging segregation between two different sized colonies of little penguins
Eudyptula minor with overlap** foraging areas in pre‐laying and incubation. We used …

Ecological effects of climate change on little penguins Eudyptula minor and the potential economic impact on tourism
Using a 40 yr demographic database of little penguins Eudyptula minor, we investigated
anticipated impacts of climatic changes on the penguin population at Phillip Island, south …

Coalescent modelling suggests recent secondary-contact of cryptic penguin species
Molecular genetic analyses present powerful tools for elucidating demographic and
biogeographic histories of taxa. Here we present genetic evidence showing a dynamic …

Influence of environmental conditions on foraging behaviour and its consequences on reproductive performance in little penguins
During the breeding season, seabirds are central place foragers and have to adapt their
foraging behaviour in response to environmental variation to maximize efficiency and …
