“Adelie penguins overall are increasing in Antarctica, although there is regional variation; they are decreasing in the Antarctic peninsula region, where temperatures increased by about 3˚C in ...

Adélie penguins have had a rough time of it on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, where warming linked to climate change has occurred faster than almost anywhere else on the planet.

In the rapidly warming Antarctic, two species of penguins are in dramatic decline. That’s the news out of a new study published by Oceanites, a nonprofit organization that closely monitors ...

For millions of years, fluctuating climates have impacted Adélie penguins, which breed on ice-free, rocky ground. Colder climates and expanding glaciers led penguins to abandon ice-covered ...

The lack of sea ice around parts of Antarctica because of global warming may be good news for one species of penguin, a new study suggests. Surprisingly, Adelie penguins appear to prefer reduced ...

An Adélie penguin that washed up on a rocky New Zealand beach — nearly 2,000 miles (3,218 kilometers) from its home in Antarctica — last week, has been released back into the wild ...
