Adélie penguins and temperature changes in Antarctica: a long-term view
During the summer months, Ad鬩e penguins represent the dominant biomass of terrestrial Antarctica. Literally millions of individuals nest in ice-free areas around the coast of the continent. Hence, these modern populations of Ad鬩e penguins have often been championed as an ideal biological indicator o...
