Final network summarizing the different significant relations between environmental covariates, individual‐level behaviour and energetics and colony‐level reproductive output.

This confirms energy as a ‘common currency’ linking individual behaviour to demographic outcomes.

An illustration of the data used in this study and their relationships

We show that sea ice 🧊 drives individual energetics ⚡, while parental foraging effort predicts the population's reproductive success in Adélie #penguins.

Energetics link long‐term environmental variations to breeding success in a wild penguin population Using a unique 25-year dataset, we uncover how environmental changes scale up from individual to population responses. We show that sea ice drives individual energetics, while parental foraging effor...

The need for an individual-based global change ecology Biodiversity loss and widespread ecosystem degradation are among the most pressing challenges of our time, requiring urgent action. Yet our understanding of their causes remains limited because prevai...

The front cover, by Benjamin Dupuis, French Polar Institute, shows an Adélie penguin leaping from the water to return to its colony. @bendps.bsky.social & co report how depth tracking can estimate penguin energy use

Hey ! Would love to be added to the pack too :)

Graphical abstract of the paper describing the main findings

My first PhD chapter just got published in @jexpbiol.bsky.social ! We proposed a new framework to estimate foraging energetics ⚡ of Adélie 🐧 using TDRs. Our framework provided results similar to accelerometers and could likely be applicable on other diving predators 🐋🦈

To celebrate the end of my thesis on Southern Ocean predators 🦭, I’m selling limited-edition fine art prints from my expeditions 🌊🖼️. Printed on Hahnemühle Rag high quality paper, signed & numbered (only 20 per photo). DM me for details & bring the wild home! 🐧📷

Hey ! I would love to be included in this starterpack too 😀
