FfFfFfFF 58,382 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 It seems that Antarctica's Adelie penguins are happier when there is less sea ice, a new study has found. According to a report in SciTech Daily, recent years has seen Antarctica experienced a steady increase in sea ice, even as the Arctic has seen a marked decrease. However, with climate change, even Antarctica is projected to see a decline in sea ice with consequences in store for maritime habitat for the organisms that call the place home. The report adds that Adelie penguins, which are the most common in Antarctica, have been known to see population increases during years when sea ice is sparse and have shown breeding failures during years when sea ice has seen marked growth. According to the Phys.org report, when there is less ice, penguins can dive anywhere they want. The process is more energy and time efficient and expands their hunting range and most likely reduces competition with other penguins for prey.

Reject False Icons 4,958 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 That isn’t necessarily good the trophic network needs balance, if this specie is benefited by climate change and get to increase their population that means a decrease on the specie eaten by them, it could dissapear later and the species connected to it yup that’s why a small change can end everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haroon 49,685 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I thought it’d decrease their population because they’d have less safe space because the sea has seals that can catch and eat them whereas it’s harder for them to catch them on land Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
