Mid-Holocene skua remains from King George Island, Antarctica
Seven avian remains from Mid-Holocene strata of the south-eastern coast of Potter Peninsula (King George Island: Isla 25 de Mayo, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) are reported. They were described and assigned to the Brown Skua Stercorarius antarcticus lonnbergi (Aves, Laridae), a living species...

| Resumo: | Seven avian remains from Mid-Holocene strata of the south-eastern coast of Potter Peninsula (King George Island: Isla 25 de Mayo, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) are reported. They were described and assigned to the Brown Skua Stercorarius antarcticus lonnbergi (Aves, Laridae), a living species currently breeding in the area. The presence of penguins in the same sequence is in agreement with the current dynamics of the coastal ecosystems of Antarctica. Nowadays, penguins and skuas frequent these same environments. |
