中文摘要
9615390库伊曼皇帝企鹅是17种企鹅之一,也是唯一一只在南极极端冬季繁殖的企鹅,此时气温可降至零下50摄氏度以下,风速可达每小时300公里。帝企鹅的总数尚不清楚,因为新的企鹅群仍在不断被发现。目前的种群估计在135,000到175,000对之间,生活在南极洲海冰边缘的大约40个地点。其中七个栖息地位于罗斯海,自20世纪60年代初S以来,杰拉尔德·库伊曼一直在那里研究帝企鹅的生理和生态。这个项目将专注于这项长期研究的数据分析和综合。工作的重点将是与栖息地开发假说相关的生理适应,以及繁殖和觅食以及栖息地选择的生态方面。该项目的一个主要目标是完成一本关于华盛顿角、库尔曼岛和罗杰角的帝企鹅的专著。该项目将产生合成工作,为了解帝企鹅在南极生态系统中的作用提供新的见解。
英文摘要
9615390 KOOYMAN The emperor penguin is one of seventeen species of penguins and the only one to breed during the extreme Antarctic winter, when temperatures can drop to below -50 degrees centigrade and winds can reach 300 kilometers per hour. The total number of emperor penguins is unknown because new colonies are still begin discovered. Current population estimates range from 135,000 to 175,000 breeding pairs, living at about 40 sites on the sea-ice margin of Antarctica. Seven of these colonies are in the Ross Sea, where Gerald Kooyman has been studying the physiology and ecology of emperor penguins since the early 1960's. This project will focus on data analysis and synthesis from this long term study. Work will focus on physiological adapations pertinent to hypotheses on habitat exploitation and on ecological aspects of breeding and foraging and habitat selection. A major goal of the project is the completion of a monograph on emperor penguins at Cape Washington, Coulman Island and Cape Roger. This project will produce synthetic work which will provide new insights into the role of emperor penguins in the Antarctic ecosystem.
