Schematic illustration showing how repeated dives from shared sea-ice openings lead penguins to encounter krill progressively deeper and farther beneath Antarctic sea ice while feeding rates remain unchanged. The results are consistent with reduced prey accessibility through repeated prey displacement, contributing to functional prey depletion.
