Divorce is costly for penguins! Over 13 breeding seasons, lower divorce rates in Little Penguins strongly indicate higher reproductive success. High divorce rates disrupt hatching and fledging success, weakening population resilience https://t.co/DI4rZivwW5

✨We kick off the year with a newly published paper exploring plastic ingestion in adult shearwaters✨
✳️Our findings reveal that due to feeding their offspring, adults reset their plastic loads
✳️Crucial insights for using seabirds as bioindicators 👇

Another excellent work led by @NicolasJoly20 on lifelong downfall of late-breeding little penguins: reduced success, lighter chicks & carry-over effects into the next season. 20 years of data on how phenology impacts fitness & life-long breeding capacity https://t.co/DLLoAEugho
Emperor penguins depend heavily on stable, fast ice for breeding; they are increasingly facing challenges in their reproductive efforts due to the changing conditions of the fast ice. Learn more. https://t.co/9Y6LGeOm4f
African penguin was officially listed as “Critically Endangered” on the @IUCNRedList -the first penguin species to reach this status. It will help us @iucnpenguin gain stronger protection but heartbreaking to see them a step away from extinction in the wild @drmichellelarue
We have a bunch of paid work coming up doing species identification work.

Today could be the hottest day in Australia's history, with temperatures up to 125°F (51.7°C) possible in Western Australia and potentially the highest temperature ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere.
Just brutal extreme heat.
