1/4 #WSTC8 #ConsSesh2 The reproductive parameters of top and meso-predators such as #Adéliepenguins can be used as a bioindicator of the environmental conditions of the #Antarctic ecosystem

4/4 #WSTC8 #ConsSesh2 The update of the population size of #AdéliePenguins contributes to improving current estimates of the total predator populations in the region, which is crucial for the management and conservation of Antarctic marine living resources

¼ The Antarctic continent 🇦🇶 is not exempt from human pollution. However, few data exist on the amount of plastic pollution below 60°S latitude.

@nattenstein But possibly environmental variability has an impact on the population dynamics of Adélia, such as a greater frequency of years with high snow deposition, a decrease in the sea ice cover (which is declining due to the increase in temperature), changes in the winds…

[Brenda Alfonso @BrendaAlfonso01]

@nattenstein This is a preliminary analysis. The relationship between this information and different environmental factors still needs to be analyzed.

@Albert_CelineC @MauroRoz ...and are affected differently by the variability in the marine and terrestrial environments.

[Brenda Alfonso @BrendaAlfonso01]

@Albert_CelineC @MauroRoz #WSTC8#ConsSesh2 These differences are due to the fact that they are species that have different life strategies (e.g. more or less dependent on sea ice, more flexible trophic and reproductive ecology, etc.)...

1 #WSTC8 #ConsSesh2 #WestPeninsulaAntarctica(WPA) 🇦🇶is an area where environmental variability due to #ClimateChange and anthropogenic activity, such as #KrillFishing🦐, is observed. In this context, #PygoscelidPenguins🐧are considered #Sentinels, used to monitor ecosystem health

Welcome to #WSTC8

We hope you’re as excited as we are for the 3 upcoming days dedicated to #seabird #research #SciArt #SciComm #Conservation & #Management work.

We’ll be hearing from >70 presenters from all around the World.

Some important things to keep in mind👇

[World Seabird Union @Seabirders]

There's only one more week until #WSTC8! 🥳

Join us from May 3-5th (here on twitter) for 20 sessions with 70+ presentations! Follow along using #WSTC8 and the session hashtags.
