- Environmental conditions and life history constraints determine foraging range in breeding Adélie penguins (2006, background): “Large Adélie penguin breeding colonies are only found in regions where fast ice typically breaks out from the Antarctic coastline before or soon after chicks hatch (Trivelpiece & Fraser 1996, Ainley 2002).”
- EFFECTS OF FLIPPER BANDS ON FORAGING BEHAVIOR AND SURVIVAL OF ADÉLIE PENGUINS (PYGOSCELIS ADELIAE) (2006, background): “Also of interest, and contrary to Ainley and DeMaster (1980; also Ainley et al. 1983, Ainley 2002), we found no evidence that band eff ects are associated only with the fi rst year a er banding.”
- Decadal-scale changes in the climate and biota of the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean, 1950s to the 1990s (2005, background): “The penguins’ southern migration from the northern (outer) edges of the ice pack occurs during September–October (Ainley 2002).”
- Isotopic niches of emperor and Adélie penguins in Adélie Land, Antarctica (2008, background): “The food and feeding ecology of breeding emperor and Adélie penguins was heavily investigated over the past 15 years (Ainley 2002; Burns and Kooyman 2001), but, despite this long history of study, surprisingly little is known about the foraging ecology and habitat use where the two species co-exist…”
- Foraging strategies of Adélie penguins: adjusting body condition to cope with environmental variability (2010, methodology): “Chick pre-fledging mass: On average, chicks crèche at 23 d and fledge at 51 d (177 to 185, Ainley 2002).”
- Penguin responses to climate change in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “…in the pack-ice) are important for Adélie and emperor penguins as they provide open access to optimum foraging habitat (Kirkwood & Robertson, 1997; Ainley, 2002); the size of polynyas is positively associated with levels of phytoplankton production and Adélie penguin colony size (Arrigo & van…”
- Sea ice affects the population dynamics of Adélie penguins in Terre Adélie (2006, methodology): “…of the growth of Adélie penguin populations could accelerate if changes in sea ice cover occur over the continental slope off Terre Adélie because the abundance of the Antarctic krill, one of the main prey for Adélie penguin (Ainley 2002), is negatively affected by SIE (Loeb et al. 1997).”
- Marine pelagic ecosystems: the West Antarctic Peninsula (2007, background): “Among these, emperor (Apdenodytes forsteri) and Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) penguins are considered true Antarctic species, and exhibit life histories that are closely linked to the presence of sea ice (Fraser et al. 1992; Williams 1995; Ainley 2002).”
