TL;DR: It is shown that warm events negatively affect both breeding success and adult survival of this seabird, and suggest that king penguin populations are at heavy extinction risk under the current global warming predictions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors monitor by satellite the routes taken by emperor penguins for foraging and compare them with satellite images of sea-ice to investigate the Antarctic sea ice habitat and find that the polynias are areas of open water in sea ice and during winter, with the underice habitats at any time of the year, they are among the most difficult of all Antarctic areas to sample.

TL;DR: It is reported that banding results in later arrival at the colony for courtship in some years, lower breeding probability and lower chick production, and the survival rate of unbanded, electronically tagged king penguin chicks after 2–3 years is approximately twice as large as that reported in the literature for banded chicks.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the influence of selective availability cancellation on location accuracy of various GPS receivers and find that differential GPS still provides more accurate locations than selective availability cancelation.

TL;DR: The first field study recording the foraging effort and foraging yield of a seabird as well as the abundance and quality of prey within its foraging area suggests that Great Cormorants remain highly successful predators even when exploiting modest prey resources.
