Breaking news: it appears Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica are declining faster than predicted.

Latest satellite data shows a massive 22% drop in penguin numbers over the last 15 years in key regions.

This is more than double the rate of loss that experts had expected...

Delighted to share our newest work: past and future effects of climate on Northern gannet metapopulation dynamics onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... with @jasonmatth.bsky.social @hollyniven.bsky.social and others. Read the highlights below
Past and future effects of climate on the metapopulation dynamics of a Northeast Atlantic seabird across two centuries
The authors aimed to forecast complex metapopulation responses to climate change of an exemplar seabird species, the Northern gannet (Morus bassanus). By using a Bayesian metapopulation model fit to ....
