Article Synopsis
- Anthropogenic activities in Antarctica disrupt wildlife, particularly in extreme environments, yet the impact on local population dynamics, especially in species like Adélie penguins, remains underexplored.
- This study analyzed 24 years of data to assess how human infrastructure affects penguin colony dynamics, finding that building density positively correlates with breeding success while also providing protection from predators.
- The research highlights that factors such as topography and proximity to human structures influence penguin growth rates, emphasizing the ecological effects of human presence on biodiverse communities in Antarctica.
