A penguin colony in Antarctica has suffered a massive breeding failure, with only two chicks surviving the disaster. Terre Adélie (Adélie Land) is home to more than 18,000 pairs of Adélie ...

Researchers found the huge colony of birds on the Danger Islands. — -- A “supercolony” of Adélie penguins has been found on a remote chain of rocky islands in the northern tip of the ...

LOS ANGELES -- Massive icebergs and an unprecedented amount of sea ice have nearly isolated one of Antarctica's largest populations of Adelie penguins, jeopardizing attempts by the birds to breed ...

Previous studies showed Adélie penguins did poorly in years with greater sea-ice growth and better in warmer breeding seasons. The JNIPR team tagged 175 penguins with GPS devices and other equipment ...

A higher number of penguins suggests that more flightless birds are interacting with humans than previously thought, meaning researchers might need to be more vigilant about protecting breeding ...

It’s a big question: how is climate change in Antarctica affecting Adélie penguins? Climate has influenced the distribution patterns of Adélie penguins across Antarctica for millions of years. The ...

For example, Naveen found 79,849 breeding pairs of chinstrap penguins, including 50,408 breeding pairs at Baily Head. That 2012 census, combined with data from Lynch's satellite imagery, also ...
