Foraging behavior of central place foragers is determined by prey availability and distribution (Fachauld 2009).? Changes in predator behavior over time may be reflecting modifications in the aboundance and/ or distribution of food (Croxal et al. 2012, Lewison et al. 2012).?Sea surface temperature is linked to behavior and survival of Rockhopper penguins (Raya Rey et al. 2007, Dehnhard et al. 2013).?Males during incubation foraging trip/s must feed up to aquire a body condition to then remain at the nest protecting the chick and fasting, until chicks enter crèche 40 days later (Quillfeldt et al. 2008, Dehnhard et al. 2016).
