Uncovering the onshore life of king penguins via energy expenditures : understanding their physiological stress response and the biomechanics of their pedestrian locomotion

Measuring energy expenditure using respirometery, heart rate and accelerometry can enable hitherto unknown aspects of a species’ energetic ecology to be uncovered. Due to the increased use of these methods, rigour is required to improve the accuracy of the results. As they can only feed in the sea,...
