Breeding success of African penguins Spheniscus demersus at Dassen Island, especially after oiling following the Apollo Sea spill

Authors: Wolfaardt, A C ; Underhill, L G ; Nel, D C ; Williams, A J ; Visagie, J Date: 2008 The reproductive success of African penguins Spheniscus demersus at Dassen Island from 1994 to 2000 was variable, but much higher than previously reported figures for the species. Breeding success was positively related to the abundance of ... Read more
Diving behaviour of African penguins: do they differ from other Spheniscus penguins?

Authors: Ryan, P G ; Petersen, S L ; Simeone, A ; Grémillet, D Date: 2007 African penguins Spheniscus demersus closely resemble Magellanic S. magellanicus and Humboldt S. humboldti penguins and have similar breeding and feeding ecologies. Adults feed on pelagic schooling fish in continental shelf waters, but African ... Read more
Restoration of oiled African penguins Spheniscus demersus a decade after the Apollo Sea spill

Authors: Wolfaardt, A C ; Underhill, L G ; Altwegg, R ; Visagie, J Date: 2008 The bulk ore carrier Apollo Sea sank south-west of Dassen Island off western South Africa in June 1994, oiling approximately 10 000 African penguins Spheniscus demersus, most of which were collected from Dassen Island. A total of 4 076 de-oiled ... Read more
Surviving off junk: low-energy prey dominates the diet of African penguins Spheniscus demersus at Mercury Island Namibia between 1996 and 2009

Authors: Ludynia, Katrin ; Roux, J-P ; Jones, R ; Kemper, J ; Underhill, Leslie Date: 2010 The diet of African penguins Spheniscus demersus in Namibia consisted mainly of sardine Sardinops sagax in the 1950s. Since the collapse of pelagic fish stocks in the 1970s, birds fed mainly on bearded (pelagic) goby Sufflogobius bibarbatus, ... Read more
