Gentoo and chinstrap penguin energy landscapes. Energy landscapes based on the bathymetry around Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands and the mass-specific total cost of foraging (diving plus commuting) by gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua (a) and chinstrap penguins Pygoscelis antarcticus (b) relative to the bottom time (in J kg−1 s−1), considering the different proportion of benthic and pelagic dives carried out by the penguins. The energy landscape categories have been defined to make them easy comparable with the ones used for gentoo penguins from New Island, Falkland/Malvinas Islands, in [21]. The colony is marked by a triangle. The location of the dives performed by the tracked birds is plotted in semi-transparent black circles for those corresponding to gentoo short trips, and in white circles for those corresponding to gentoo long trips, and semi-transparent black circles for chinstraps
