Here, we investigated the isotopic values (\u03b413C and \u03b415N) of four tissues (feather, skin, toenail, and bone) collected from fledgling-period chick carcasses of three species of pygoscelid penguins to compare the variability and accuracy of the data among tissues. Samples were collected at 25 de Mayo/King George Island during the 2017/18 austral summer. Chick carcasses are commonly found at active penguin colonies, and \u201copportunistic sampling\u201d can easily be performed without disturbing nesting penguins. A total of 25\u201336 carcasses per species were sampled at active colonies of Ad\u00e9lie Pygoscelis adeliae, Gentoo P. papua, and Chinstrap P. antarcticus penguins. A linear mixed model showed that \u03b413C values varied significantly between tissues, presumably due to tissue-specific isotopic discrimination. In contrast, the only tissue with significantly different \u03b415N values was toenail. Stable isotope data revealed dietary differences among species, with Gentoo Penguins having higher average isotopic values in tissues compared to Ad\u00e9lie and Chinstrap penguins. In addition, Chinstrap Penguins showed a consistent, but not statistically significant, trend in having higher \u03b413C values compared to Ad\u00e9lie Penguins. Gentoo Penguins displayed the highest isotopic variability of any species for all tissues. Isotopic composition was most variable in skin in all three species making skin the least reliable tissue for isotope analysis, whereas isotopic values were least variable in toenails. Comparison of isotopic values between two bones (tibiotarsus and coracoid) showed no significant differences in isotopic values, indicating that when the same bone is not available for sampling from carcasses, sampling of any major skeletal element is likely to provide a meaningful comparison.

This data set contains measurements of nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope values of twelve individual amino acids from modern and excavated eggshell of Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adelidae) from multiple sites around the Antarctic Peninsula and Ross Sea regions of Antarctica. Stable isotope analyses were conducted using a gas chromatograph coupled to a continuous flow stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer. Radiocarbon dates of excavated eggshells were estimated using accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) on bone, feather, and egg membrane tissues from the same ornithogenic layer as the eggshell and were completed at the Rafter Radiocarbon Laboratory and New Zealand (NZA), Beta Analytic, Inc. (Beta). All dates were corrected for the marine carbon reservoir effect and calibrated to calendar years before present (cal years BP) using a ΔR of 750 ± 50 years and the MARINE13 calibration curve in Calib 7.0 (2σ range). This data set indexes each individually analyzed eggshell sample with site (location), latitude, longitude, tissue used from radiocarbon dating, age of the sample, and nitrogen stable isotope values of individual amino acids.

This data set contains radiometric dating measurements from two aquatic sediment cores excavated from two separate sites (Salisbury Plain and Gold Harbor) on South Georgia Island in February 2019. It also contains biological and geochemical sediment proxy values from both sediment cores, including total carbon (%), total nitrogen (%), number of penguin feathers and eggshell fragments, number of seal hairs, and δ13C and δ15N stable isotope values. Cores were sectioned at 1cm intervals, and radiometric dating analyses were conducted on sediment fractions <850 µm by measuring for 210Pb and 226Ra (via 214Pb) by direct gamma counting using the high purity germanium planar detector in the Marine Geochemistry Laboratory at Louisiana State University (LSU). The 210Pbex profiles were used to calculate sedimentation rates using a steady state model that assumes constant rate of supply and constant sedimentation rate (Maiti et al., 2010). Geochemical analyses were performed on sediment fractions <125 µm using an Elemental Analyzer-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (EA-IRMS) in the Stable Isotope Ecology Lab at LSU. Biological counts of feathers and hairs were determined by enumeration using a dissecting microscope of sediment fractions >1000 µm. The data set also includes sediment core excavation site names and coordinates, date of excavation, sediment depth and age, and carbon to nitrogen isotopic ratios.

Many types of animal tissues are increasingly being used for stable isotope analysis, with their application dependent on the time frame they reflect and their availability for collection. Here, we investigated the isotopic values (δ13C and δ15N) of four tissues (feather, skin, toenail, and bone) collected from fledgling-period chick carcasses of three species of pygoscelid penguins to compare the variability and accuracy of the data among tissues. Samples were collected at 25 de Mayo/King George Island during the 2017/18 austral summer. Chick carcasses are commonly found at active penguin colonies, and “opportunistic sampling” can easily be performed without disturbing nesting penguins. A total of 25–36 carcasses per species were sampled at active colonies of Adélie Pygoscelis adeliae, Gentoo P. papua, and Chinstrap P. antarcticus penguins. A linear mixed model showed that δ13C values varied significantly between tissues, presumably due to tissue-specific isotopic discrimination. In contrast, the only tissue with significantly different δ15N values was toenail. Stable isotope data revealed dietary differences among species, with Gentoo Penguins having higher average isotopic values in tissues compared to Adélie and Chinstrap penguins. In addition, Chinstrap Penguins showed a consistent, but not statistically significant, trend in having higher δ13C values compared to Adélie Penguins. Gentoo Penguins displayed the highest isotopic variability of any species for all tissues. Isotopic composition was most variable in skin in all three species making skin the least reliable tissue for isotope analysis, whereas isotopic values were least variable in toenails. Comparison of isotopic values between two bones (tibiotarsus and coracoid) showed no significant differences in isotopic values, indicating that when the same bone is not available for sampling from carcasses, sampling of any major skeletal element is likely to provide a meaningful comparison. These results allow for more informed opportunistic sampling to accurately estimate and compare penguin diet among species and between ancient and active colonies. | ["POLYGON((-58.62 -62.257,-58.6199 -62.257,-58.6198 -62.257,-58.6197 -62.257,-58.6196 -62.257,-58.6195 -62.257,-58.6194 -62.257,-58.6193 -62.257,-58.6192 -62.257,-58.6191 -62.257,-58.619 -62.257,-58.619 -62.2571,-58.619 -62.2572,-58.619 -62.2573,-58.619 -62.2574,-58.619 -62.2575,-58.619 -62.2576,-58.619 -62.2577,-58.619 -62.2578,-58.619 -62.2579,-58.619 -62.258,-58.6191 -62.258,-58.6192 -62.258,-58.6193 -62.258,-58.6194 -62.258,-58.6195 -62.258,-58.6196 -62.258,-58.6197 -62.258,-58.6198 -62.258,-58.6199 -62.258,-58.62 -62.258,-58.62 -62.2579,-58.62 -62.2578,-58.62 -62.2577,-58.62 -62.2576,-58.62 -62.2575,-58.62 -62.2574,-58.62 -62.2573,-58.62 -62.2572,-58.62 -62.2571,-58.62 -62.257))"] | ["POINT(-58.6195 -62.2575)"] | false | false |

This data set focuses on ornithogenic soils excavated from a test pit located in an active colony of Pygoscelis spp. penguins on Platter Island in the Danger Islands archipelago along the northeastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula in December 2015. It contains radiocarbon dates of recovered penguin tissues and the estimated age of ornithogenic soils by depth. It also contains measurements of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope values of Pygoscelis spp. penguins eggshell membrane and feather samples and Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) hair sample recovered from these ornithogenic soils. Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) was used to obtain radiocarbon dates at the Woods Hole National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility. Radiocarbon Dates were corrected for the marine carbon reservoir effect and calibrated to calendar years before present (cal years BP) using a ΔR of 750 ± 50 years and the MARINE13 calibration curve in Calib 7.04. The rbacon package ver. 2.3.9.1 in R was used to estimate age at depth of each soil level expressed as years relative to the common era (CE). Stable isotope analyses were conducted using an elemental analyzer coupled to a continuous flow stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer at Louisiana State University. The data set also includes associated data such as excavation date, location, site names, latitude/longitude, species, date of excavation, tissue used for radiocarbon dating, and carbon to nitrogen ratios.
