Abstract

The criteria used to classify species as being at risk of extinction are based on global population estimates, making global-scale analysis important for conservation. Now, a study projecting population dynamics of all 45 known emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) colonies indicates long-term decline, primarily due to altered Antarctic sea ice conditions.
