  • Species Status Assessment Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes Fosteri)
    SPECIES STATUS ASSESSMENT EMPEROR PENGUIN (APTENODYTES FOSTERI) Emperor penguin chicks being socialized by male parents at Auster Rookery, 2008. Photo Credit: Gary Miller, Australian Antarctic Program. Version 1.0 December 2020 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Program Branch of Delisting and Foreign Species Falls Church, Virginia Acknowledgements: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Penguins are flightless birds that are highly adapted for the marine environment. The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species. Emperors are near the top of the Southern Ocean’s food chain and primarily consume Antarctic silverfish, Antarctic krill, and squid. They are excellent swimmers and can dive to great depths. The average life span of emperor penguin in the wild is 15 to 20 years. Emperor penguins currently breed at 61 colonies located around Antarctica, with the largest colonies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea. The total population size is estimated at approximately 270,000–280,000 breeding pairs or 625,000–650,000 total birds. Emperor penguin depends upon stable fast ice throughout their 8–9 month breeding season to complete the rearing of its single chick. They are the only warm-blooded Antarctic species that breeds during the austral winter and therefore uniquely adapted to its environment. Breeding colonies mainly occur on fast ice, close to the coast or closely offshore, and amongst closely packed grounded icebergs that prevent ice breaking out during the breeding season and provide shelter from the wind. Sea ice extent in the Southern Ocean has undergone considerable inter-annual variability over the last 40 years, although with much greater inter-annual variability in the five sectors than for the Southern Ocean as a whole.

  • Century. Although It Was Recognized As a Probable Continent More Than
    978978GEOPHYSICS: P. A. SIPLE PROP. N. A. S. Forces such as radiation pressure or simple convection appear to be incapable of ejecting the material. The only one I have discovered capable of performing the required action is the magnetohydrodynamic force associated with a current loop. One can show that such forces are entirely adequate to account for the elevation of prominence material against the force of gravity. At the same time these cur- rents can produce and maintain the observed filamentation of spots. Further, it appears that the energy stored in the current system is of the order of that released during a solar flare. Thus, even though we still cannot define an M region un- ambiguously, we have achieved some understanding of the force fields that may occur in the solar atmosphere and which may have some effect on the ionosphere. * The research reported on was made possible in part through support and sponsorship ex- tended by the Geophysics Research Division of the Air Force Cambridge Research Center, under Contract AF 19(604)-146 with Harvard University.
