Eudyptes genomics rockhopper penguins species delimitation |
|
| |
Abstract |
Aim Delimiting recently diverged species is challenging. During speciation, genetic differentiation may be distributed unevenly across the genome, as different genomic regions can be subject to different selective pressures and evolutionary histories. Reliance on limited numbers of genetic markers that may be underpowered can make species delimitation even more challenging, potentially resulting in taxonomic inconsistencies. Rockhopper penguins of the genus Eudyptes comprise three broadly recognized taxa: northern (E. moseleyi), southern (E. chrysocome) and eastern rockhopper (E. filholi). Their taxonomic status has been controversial for decades, with researchers disagreeing about whether E. chrysocome and E. filholi are distinct species or conspecific. Our goal is to evaluate genome-wide patterns of divergence to evaluate genetic differentiation and species delimitation in rockhopper penguins, and to assess which mechanisms may underlie previous discordance among nuclear versus mitochondrial analyses. Location Sub-Antarctic and temperate coastal regions of the Southern Hemisphere. Methods We generated reduced-representation genomic libraries using double digest restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing to evaluate genetic differentiation, contemporary migration rates and admixture among colonies of rockhopper penguins. Results The extent of genetic differentiation among the three taxa was consistently higher than population-level genetic differentiation found within these and other penguin species. There was no evidence of admixture among the three taxa, suggesting the absence of ongoing gene flow among them. Species delimitation analyses based on molecular data, along with other lines of evidence, provide strong support for the taxonomic distinction of three species of rockhopper penguins. Main conclusions Our results provide strong support for the existence of three distinct species of rockhopper penguins. The recognition of this taxonomic diversity is crucial for the management and conservation of this widely distributed species group. This study illustrates that widespread dispersive seabird lineages lacking obvious morphological differences may nevertheless have complex evolutionary histories and comprise cryptic species diversity. |

|
| |
Abstract |
Sharing the same wintering grounds by avian populations breeding in various areas may synchronize fluctuations in vital rates, which could increase the risk of extinction. Here, by combining multi-colony tracking with long-term capture-recapture data, we studied the winter distribution and annual survival of the most numerous Arctic seabird, the little auk Alle alle. We assessed whether little auks from different breeding populations in Svalbard and Franz Josef Land use the same wintering grounds and if this leads to synchronized survival. Our results indicate that birds from the Svalbard colonies shared similar wintering grounds, although differences existed in the proportion of birds from each colony using the different areas. Little auks from Franz Josef Land generally spent the winter in a separate area, but some individuals wintered in the Iceland Sea with Svalbard populations. Survival data from 3 Svalbard colonies collected in 2005-2018 indicated that sharing wintering grounds did not synchronize little auk annual survival rates. However, it is clear that the Iceland Sea is an important wintering area for little auks, and environmental changes in this area could have widespread impacts on many populations. |

Abstract |
Every year, billions of birds undertake extensive migrations between breeding and non-breeding areas, facing challenges that require behavioural adjustments, particularly to flight timing and duration. Such adjustments in daily activity patterns and the influence of extrinsic factors (e.g., environmental conditions, moonlight) have received much more research attention in terrestrial than marine migrants. Taking advantage of the widespread deployment in recent decades of combined light-level geolocator-immersion loggers, we investigated diel organisation and influence of the moon on flight activities during the non-breeding season of 21 migrant seabird species from a wide taxonomic range (6 families, 3 orders). Migrant seabirds regularly stopped (to either feed or rest) during migration, unlike some terrestrial and wetland birds which fly non-stop. We found an overall increase for most seabird species in time in flight and, for several species, also in flight bout duration, during migration compared to when resident at the non-breeding grounds. Additionally, several nocturnal species spent more of the day in flight during migration than at non-breeding areas, and vice versa for diurnal species. Nocturnal time in flight tended to increase during full moon, both during migration and at the non-breeding grounds, depending on species. Our study provides an extensive overview of activity patterns of migrant seabirds, paving the way for further research on the underlying mechanisms and drivers. |

Abstract |
Stable Water Isotopes Are A Tracer Of Hydrological Processes And A Paleoclimate Proxy From Ice Core Records. The Interpretation Of The Latter Relies On Fractionation Processes Throughout The Hydrological Cycle, From The Evaporation Over The Ocean, During Each Precipitation Event, And During Post-deposition Processes, In Particular Due To The Exchanges Between The Snow And The Moisture In The Atmosphere. Thanks To New Developments In Infrared Spectroscopy, It Is Now Possible To Monitor Not Only The Snow Isotopic Composition But Also The Vapour Continuously, And Thus Document Exchanges Between The Snow And The Vapour. On The East Antarctic Plateau, Records Of Water Vapour Isotopic Composition In Kohnen And Dome C During Summer Have Revealed Significant Diurnal Variability Which Can Be Used To Address The Exchange Between Surface Snow And Atmospheric Water Vapour As Well As The Stability Of The Atmospheric Boundary Layer. in This Study, We Present The First Vapour Monitoring On A Transect Across East Antarctica For A Period Of 3 Months From November 2019 To February 2020 During The Eaiist Traverse, Covering More Than 3600 Km. In Parallel, We Also Monitored The Vapour Isotopic Composition At Two Stations: Dumont D’urville (Ddu), The Starting Point, And Dome C, Half Way Through. Efforts On The Calibration On Each Monitoring Station, As Well As Cross-calibration Of The Different Instruments Offer A Unique Opportunity To Compare Both The Spatial And Temporal (Diurnal Variability Or At The Scale Of Several Days) Gradients Of Humidity, Temperature And Water Vapour Isotopic Composition In East Antarctica During The Summer Season. with The Use Of The Modele Atmospherique Régional (Mar), We Compare The Variability Measured In Water Vapour Isotopic Composition, Temperature And Humidity With The Different Systems (Fixed Or Mobile Location). Although Further Comparisons With The Surface Snow Isotopic Composition Are Required To Quantify The Impact Of The Snow-atmosphere Exchanges On The Local Surface Mass Balance, These Three Simultaneous Measurements Of The Vapour Isotopic Composition Show The Potential Of Using Water Stables Isotopes To Evaluate Hydrological Processes In East Antarctica. |

Abstract |
Even in areas as remote as the Southern Ocean, marine organisms are exposed to contaminants that arrive through long-range atmospheric transport, such as mercury (Hg), a highly toxic metal. In previous studies in the Southern Ocean, inter-specific differences in Hg contamination in seabirds was generally related to their distribution and trophic position. However, the Blue Petrel (Halobaena caerulea) was a notable exception among small seabirds, with higher Hg levels than expected. In this study, we compared the Hg contamination of Blue Petrels and Thin-billed Prions (Pachyptila belcheri), which both spend the non-breeding season in polar waters, with that of Antarctic Prions (Pachyptila desolata), which spend the winter in subtropical waters. We collected body feathers and blood samples, representing exposure during different time-frames. Hg concentrations in feathers, which reflect contamination throughout the annual cycle, were related to ?13C values, and varied with ocean basin and species. Blue Petrels from breeding colonies in the southeast Pacific Ocean had much higher feather Hg concentrations than expected after accounting for latitude and their low trophic positions. Both Hg concentrations and ?15N in blood samples of Blue Petrels were much lower at the end than at the start of the breeding period, indicating a marked decline in Hg contamination and trophic positions, and the carry-over of Hg burdens between the wintering and breeding periods. Elevated Hg levels may reflect greater reliance on myctophids or foraging in sea-ice environments. Our study underlines that carry-over of Hg concentrations in prey consumed in winter may determine body Hg burdens well into the breeding season. |
