    The Distribution, Abundance and Population Trends of Gentoo, Rockhopper and King Penguins in the Falkland Islands

    The distribution, abundance and population trends of gentoo, rockhopper and king penguins in the Falkland Islands M. Bingham The Falkland Islands are a globally important breeding location for seabirds, including penguins. The total breeding populations of three of the four main penguin species present in the Falklands were censused in the austral summer of1995/96. The results for gentoo and rockhopper penguins suggest declines of about 43 and 90 per cent, respectively, since a similar census in 1932/33. Recent monitoring studies suggest that these declines are still continuing; research to investigate causes (which is likely to reflect changes in the marine, rather than terrestrial environment) is a high priority. In contrast, king penguin populations, currently c. 400 pairs, have increased steadily, by 700 per cent since 1980/81, in line with world-wide trends for this species. Introduction The Falklands' population of king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus is very small, but was The Falkland Islands lie in the south-west still included in the census.

Imperial Shag (Phalacrocorax atriceps) is monitored at three sites. King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) and Black‐browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) are monitored at single, but key, sites, in terms of population numbers. Southern Giant Petrel (Macronectes giganteus) is monitored at one site (three colonies) and Brown Skua (Catharacta antarctica) at one site (four colonies). Overall the 2016/17 FISMP detected notable decreases in overall breeding pair numbers of Gentoo Penguin, Southern Rockhopper Penguin and Black‐browed Albatross at nearly all the monitoring sites.

E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected] SUMMARY: The Magellan region, including the Falkland Islands, is one of the world’s most important areas for seabirds, and especially penguins. World-wide there are 17 species of penguin; 7 of these regularly breed around the coastal waters of South America, and 5 within the Magellan region. These are the King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), Gentoo Pen- guin (Pygoscelis papua), Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes c. chrysocome), Macaroni Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus). During the last five years, a review of the breeding populations of penguins within the Magellan region was conducted. This work included population censuses of all the surface breeding species throughout the Falkland Islands and southern South America. The results of this work are presented, along with other cited information, to provide a summary of the current knowledge of penguin populations within the Magellan region. Key words: Penguin, Magellan, Falkland, Chile, Argentina.

Author: Isaac Parlan Forster BSc. (Hons). University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science by Research Division of Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Faculty of Biomedical and Life Sciences University of Glasgow February 2010 Abstract Developing marine protected areas has become a priority for many conservation organizations and governments worldwide. Defining such areas robustly requires considerable resources, however the use of seabirds as biosystem indicators provides an option to reduce the expenditure and effort required as they are relatively easy to study, and act as bio-monitors of ecosystem change.
