尽管国际社会一致努力跟踪和解释阿德利企鹅丰度和分布的变化,但仍有大量企鹅被发现。在这里,我们报告了一个主要的热点阿德利企鹅丰度确定在危险群岛的北方尖端的南极半岛(美联社)。我们提出了第一个完整的普查Pygoscelis属。这是一项多模式调查,包括直接地面计数和无人驾驶航空器(UAV)图像的计算机自动计数。我们的调查显示,危险群岛拥有751,527对阿德利企鹅,超过AP地区其他地区的总和,包括世界上第三和第四大阿德利企鹅殖民地。我们的研究结果验证了使用Landsat中分辨率卫星图像检测新的或未知的企鹅殖民地,并强调了卫星图像与地面和无人机调查相结合的实用性。危险群岛似乎已经避免了最近的下降记录在西澳,因为他们是大的,可能仍然是一个重要的热点鸟类丰富的预测气候变化下,值得特别考虑在谈判和设计该地区的海洋保护区。
Despite concerted international effort to track and interpret shifts in the abundance and distribution of Adélie penguins, large populations continue to be identified. Here we report on a major hotspot of Adélie penguin abundance identified in the Danger Islands off the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). We present the first complete census of Pygoscelis spp. penguins in the Danger Islands, estimated from a multi-modal survey consisting of direct ground counts and computer-automated counts of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery. Our survey reveals that the Danger Islands host 751,527 pairs of Adélie penguins, more than the rest of AP region combined, and include the third and fourth largest Adélie penguin colonies in the world. Our results validate the use of Landsat medium-resolution satellite imagery for the detection of new or unknown penguin colonies and highlight the utility of combining satellite imagery with ground and UAV surveys. The Danger Islands appear to have avoided recent declines documented on the Western AP and, because they are large and likely to remain an important hotspot for avian abundance under projected climate change, deserve special consideration in the negotiation and design of Marine Protected Areas in the region.
