Creator:

LaRue, Michelle A., Ainley, David G., Swanson, Matt, Dugger, Katie M., Lyver, Phil O'B., Barton, Kerry, and Ballard, Grant

Abstract:

There will be winners and losers as climate change alters the habitats of polar organisms. For an Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony on Beaufort Island (Beaufort), part of a cluster of colonies in the southern Ross Sea, we report a recent population increase in response to increased nesting habitat as...

Jennings, Scott, Varsani, Arvind, Dugger, Katie M., Ballard, Grant, and Ainley, David G.

Abstract:

Sexually size-dimorphic species must show some difference between the sexes in growth rate and/or length of growing period. Such differences in growth parameters can cause the sexes to be impacted by environmental variability in different ways, and understanding these differences allows a better understanding of patterns in productivity between individuals...
