Terrible news from a study out today on emperor penguins in the Antarctic (https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-023-00927-x):
"Of the five breeding sites in the region all but one experienced total breeding failure after sea ice break-up before the start of the fledging period of the 2022 breeding season. This is the first recorded incident of a widespread breeding failure of emperor penguins that is clearly linked with large-scale contractions in sea ice extent."
