New genomic research has resolved a century-old debate over gentoo penguins, revealing four distinct species rather than one ...

Genetic evidence has revealed a previously unknown gentoo penguin species on the remote Kerguelen Islands and shown that ...

Scientists identified a new gentoo penguin species on the Kerguelen Islands using genetic evidence, revealing four distinct species and warning that climate change could shrink their habitat.

Scientists have identified a new gentoo penguin species on the remote Kerguelen Islands, revealing four distinct species and raising fresh concerns over climate change.

The scientists provided genetic evidence that what was once thought to be one widely dispersed species is actually four separate species of gentoo penguin. One of these was previously unrecognized ...

Antarctic penguins are breeding earlier than ever recorded, with gentoo penguins showing the most dramatic shifts as warming accelerates along the Antarctic Peninsula. Earlier breeding can create ...

Researchers studied 64 gentoo penguins from colonies across the Falkland/Malvinas Islands, Martillo, South Georgia, Antarctica, Kerguelen, Crozet, Marion and Macquarie. They analysed their genomes and ...
