  Title Does natural selection explain the fine scale genetic structure at the nuclear exon Glu-5′ in blue mussels from Kerguelen? Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication Ecology and Evolution Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 5 Issue 7 Pages 1456-1473  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The Kerguelen archipelago, isolated in the Southern Ocean, shelters a blue mussel Mytilus metapopulation far from any influence of continental populations or any known hybrid zone. The finely carved coast leads to a highly heterogeneous habitat. We investigated the impact of the environment on the genetic structure in those Kerguelen blue mussels by relating allele frequencies to habitat descriptors. A total sample comprising up to 2248 individuals from 35 locations was characterized using two nuclear markers, mac-1 and Glu-5′, and a mitochondrial marker (COI). The frequency data from 9 allozyme loci in 9 of these locations were also reanalyzed. Two other nuclear markers (EFbis and EFprem's) were monomorphic. Compared to Northern Hemisphere populations, polymorphism in Kerguelen blue mussels was lower for all markers except for the exon Glu-5′. At Glu-5′, genetic differences were observed between samples from distinct regions (FCT = 0.077), as well as within two regions, including between samples separated by <500 m. No significant differentiation was observed in the AMOVA analyses at the two other markers (mac-1 and COI). Like mac-1, all allozyme loci genotyped in a previous publication, displayed lower differentiation (Jost's D) and FST values than Glu-5′. Power simulations and confidence intervals support that Glu-5′ displays significantly higher differentiation than the other loci (except a single allozyme for which confidence intervals overlap). AMOVA analyses revealed significant effects of the giant kelp Macrocystis and wave exposure on this marker. We discuss the influence of hydrological conditions on the genetic differentiation among regions. In marine organisms with high fecundity and high dispersal potential, gene flow tends to erase differentiation, but this study showed significant differentiation at very small distance. This may be explained by the particular hydrology and the carved coastline of the Kerguelen archipelago, together with spatially variable selection at Glu-5′

  Title Maternal telomere length inheritance in the king penguin Type Journal Article
  Year 2015 Publication HEREDITY Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 114 Issue 1 Pages 10-16  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Telomeres are emerging as a biomarker for ageing and survival, and are likely important in shaping life-history trade-offs. In particular, telomere length with which one starts in life has been linked to lifelong survival, suggesting that early telomere dynamics are somehow related to life-history trajectories. This result highlights the importance of determining the extent to which telomere length is inherited, as a crucial factor determining early life telomere length. Given the scarcity of species for which telomere length inheritance has been studied, it is pressing to assess the generality of telomere length inheritance patterns. Further, information on how this pattern changes over the course of growth in individuals living under natural conditions should provide some insight on the extent to which environmental constraints also shape telomere dynamics. To fill this gap partly, we followed telomere inheritance in a population of king penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus). We tested for paternal and maternal influence on chick initial telomere length (10 days old after hatching), and how these relationships changed with chick age (at 70, 200 and 300 days old). Based on a correlative approach, offspring telomere length was positively associated with maternal telomere length early in life (at 10 days old). However, this relationship was not significant at older ages. These data suggest that telomere length in birds is maternally inherited. Nonetheless, the influence of environmental conditions during growth remained an important factor shaping telomere length, as the maternal link disappeared with chicks/' age.

  Title Stress hormones in relation to breeding status and territory location in colonial king penguin: a role for social density? Type Journal Article
  Year 2014 Publication Oecologia Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 175 Issue 3 Pages 763-772-  
  Keywords Coloniality, Corticosterone, Crowding, Population density, Glucocorticoids, Oxidative stress, Seabird, Stress, Territory location,  
  Abstract Because glucocorticoid (stress) hormones fundamentally affect various aspects of the behaviour, life history and fitness of free-living vertebrates, there is a need to understand the environmental factors shaping their variation in natural populations. Here, we examined whether spatial heterogeneity in breeding territory quality affected the stress of colonial king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus). We assessed the effects of local climate (wind, sun and ambient temperature) and social conditions (number of neighbours, distance to neighbours) on the baseline levels of plasma total corticosterone (CORT) in 77 incubating and 42 chick-brooding birds, breeding on territories of central or peripheral colony location. We also assessed the oxidative stress status of a sub-sample of central vs. peripheral chick-brooders to determine whether chronic stress arose from breeding on specific territories. On average, we found that brooders had 55 % higher CORT levels than incubators. Regardless of breeding status, central birds experienced greater social density (higher number of neighbours, shorter distance between territories) and had higher CORT levels than peripheral birds. Increasing social density positively explained 40 % of the variation in CORT levels of both incubators and brooders, but the effect was more pronounced in brooders. In contrast, climate was similar among breeding territories and did not significantly affect the CORT levels of breeding birds. In brooders, oxidative stress status was not affected by local density or weather conditions. These results highlight that local heterogeneity in breeding (including social) conditions may strongly affect the stress levels of breeding seabirds. The fitness consequences of such variation remain to be investigated.

  Title Starting with a handicap: phenotypic differences between early- and late-born king penguin chicks and their survival correlates Type Journal Article
  Year 2014 Publication Functional Ecology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 28 Issue 3 Pages 601-611  
  Keywords corticosterone, early-life conditions, growth, individual quality, oxidative stress, phenotypic plasticity, reproductive timing, telomere,  
  Abstract 1. The exceptionally long (c. 11 months) growth period of king penguin chicks (Aptenodytes
patagonicus) is interrupted by the Austral winter. As a consequence, penguin chicks born late
in the breeding season have little time to build-up their energy reserves before the drastic
energy bottleneck they experience during winter and face greater risks of mortality than earlyborn
chicks.
2. Whereas it is well known that breeding adults alternate between early- and late-breeding
attempts, little is known on the phenotype of early- and late-chicks, and on the potential
existence of specific adaptive phenotypic responses in late-born individuals.
3. We investigated phenotypic differences between early- and late-chicks and tested their survival
correlates both before the winter and at fledgling. Chicks were sampled 10 days after
hatching to measure body mass, plasma corticosterone levels, oxidative stress parameters and
telomere length.
4. Late-chicks were heavier than early-chicks at day 10. Late-chicks also had higher corticosterone
and oxidative stress levels, shorter telomere lengths and suffered from higher mortality
rates than early-chicks. For both early- and late-chicks, high body mass close to hatching was
a strong predictor of survival up to, and over, the winter period.
5. In late but not early-chicks, high corticosterone levels and long telomeres were significant
predictors of survival up to winter and fledging, respectively.
6. Our study provides evidence that late- and early-king penguin chicks showed marked phenotypic
differences 10 days after hatching. We provide an integrative discussion on whether
these differences may be adaptive or not, and to what extent they may be driven by active
maternal effects, indirectly induced by environmental effects, or stem from individual
differences in parental quality.

  Title Energetic adjustments in freely breeding-fasting king penguins: does colony density matter? Type Journal Article
  Year 2014 Publication Functional Ecology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 28 Issue 3 Pages 621-631  
  Keywords body temperature, energy expenditure, fasting, heart rate, physical activity, seabird, social density, stress,  
  Abstract 1. For seabirds that forage at sea but breed fasting on land, successful reproduction depends
on the effective management of energy stores. Additionally, breeding often means
aggregating in dense colonies where social stress may affect energy budgets.
2. King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) males fast for remarkably long periods (up to 1.5
months) while courting and incubating ashore. Although their fasting capacities have been
well investigated in captivity, we still known very little on the energetics of freely
breeding birds.
3. We monitored the heart rate (HR; a proxy to energy expenditure), body temperature, and
physical activity of male king penguins during their courtship and first incubation shift in
a colony of some 24,000 freely breeding pairs. Males were either breeding under low but
increasing colony density (early breeders), or at high and stable density (late breeders).
4. In early breeders, daily mean and resting HR decreased during courtship but increased
again 3 days before egg-laying and during incubation. In late breeders, HR remained
stable throughout this same breeding period. Interestingly, the daily increase in resting HR
we observed in early breeders was strongly associated with a marked increase in colony
density over time. This finding remained significant even after controlling for climate
effects.
5. In both early and late breeders, courtship and incubation were associated with a
progressive decrease in physical activity, whereas core body temperature remained
unchanged.
6. We discuss the roles of decreased physical activity and thermoregulatory strategies in
sustaining the long courtship-incubation fast of male king penguins. We also draw
attention to a potential role for conspecific density in affecting the energetics of breeding
fasting seabirds, i.e. a potential energy cost to coloniality.
