I don't have immediate access to preserved Emperor penguin feet, but one reference I found listed their foot length as ~10.5cm, which works to about a UK child's shoe size of 0.

I am very happy to announce that my first PhD paper has been published today at the Journal of Animal Ecology!!! It is on how three penguin species have been shifting their breeding times in Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic in response to climate change. They are the fastest birds in doing so!

Oxford Biology@biology.ox.ac.uk · 7mo ago

There's been a record shift in the breeding season of Antarctic penguins 🐧 Gentoos are advancing breeding by an average of 13 days per decade, and Adélies and Chinstraps by an average of 10 days, likely in response to climate change. Led by @penguinacho.bsky.social 👇 https://bit.ly/4svQWnX

Spatial overlap alone downplays the level of interaction between a central place forager and the local fishery

While spatial overlap is commonly used to quantify interactions, it may underestimate the true degree of competition between foraging predators and fishing vessels. Our alternative population-level m...
