Adélie penguins live on the Antarctic continent and on many small, surrounding coastal islands. They spend the winter offshore in the seas surrounding the Antarctic pack ice. Adélies feed on ...

The foul stench of penguin poop sets Antarctic krill on edge. In lab experiments, the mere scent of penguin droppings — or guano — sent krill scrambling for escape, researchers report March 20 in ...

The Adélie is the littlest, and also the most widespread, species of penguin in the Antarctic. They might look a bit clumsy on land, but penguins are brilliant swimmers. They can dive down to 180m – ...

Archaeologists amassed over 100 sediment samples in Antarctica to trace the history of Adélie penguins 6,000 years into the past, providing a vivid snapshot to help climate change efforts.

A pair of Adelie penguins before going for a ‘feed dip’ Adelie penguins can only survive in a sea ice environment Miniature cameras attached to a penguin's head have given Japanese scientists ...

We’re working with French polar scientists at Dumont D’Urville Station in east Antarctica to monitor the lives of Adélie penguins. Climate change is complex. While disappearing sea ice poses a threat ...

Today is World Penguin Day, a special day in which the Adelie penguin supposedly begins its annual northward migration to Antarctica. In celebration, here are five fabulous facts about these ...

For 6,000 years, Adélie penguins have unknowingly documented the changing climate of Antarctica—not in journals or fossils, but through their poop. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature ...

Picture: Peter Harmsen/Australian Antarctic Division Poo, or guano, from Adelie penguins was collected and fed into man-made water channels against seawater with algae, or both algae and guano.

Scientists have used ancient DNA to help reconstruct 6,000 years of penguin history at the South Pole. The researchers found that Adélie penguins had taken over the habitat of southern elephant ...
