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

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

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 🐋🦈
