    "description": "This dataset contains physiological samples, including blood, feather, scat, and whisker material, collected from Emperor Penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) and Weddell Seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) at Cape Crozier and across 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons. The samples were collected to investigate diet composition and population genetic structure using DNA analysis. These data support research into trophic ecology, foraging behaviour, and connectivity of Antarctic marine predator populations within the Ross Sea ecosystem.\n\nGET DATA: michelle.larue@canterbury.ac.nz",
