| Abstract: |
The article focuses on understanding the diverse habitats that influence the presence of emperor penguins in Antarctica, considering factors like fast ice extent, trophic competition and geography. This research aims to help identify potential refugia for these threatened penguins in the face of climate change and sea ice loss, emphasizing the importance of adaptive strategies for their conservation on both local and regional scales. |
