Climate change linked to collapse of Antarctica's largest penguin colony

A new study reports that a remote island near Antarctica no longer hosts the world's largest penguin colony. Researchers say climate-driven changes to ocean food chains likely devastated the population, causing what they describe as a population collapse of once-thriving penguin numbers. The findings add to growing evidence that warming seas are disrupting Antarctic marine ecosystems and the species that depend on them.
Why now: A newly published study linking the colony's collapse to climate change is drawing widespread attention.
