Recent decrease in gentoo penguin populations at Iles Kerguelen
Several sub-Antarctic penguin populations have exhibited decreasing trends in the last 5–20 years. At Iles Kerguelen, the gentoo penguin ( Pygoscelis papua ) has decreased by approximately 30% over the last 15 years. This decrease is likely to be related to reduced food availability for this coastal...
