Palmer scientists have documented an 85 percent reduction in Ade\u0301lie penguin populations along the western Antarctic Peninsula since 1974. These records provide some of the earliest evidence that regional climate warming is negatively impacting the marine ecosystem. Without sea ice, the Ade\u0301lie penguin access to prey decreases and winter survival becomes more challenging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kristin Walovich The research vessel Pt.
