Adelie penguin population sees rapid decline: Scientists_我的网站

一 |     Canberra, Oct 12 (UNI) Australia's top Antarctic scientists have reported a rapid decline in a population of Adelie penguins.

According to research published by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) on Tuesday, a large Adelie population off the East Antarctic coast has declined by 43 per cent over the last decade.

Ecologists from the AAD, led by Louise Emmerson and Colin Southwell, surveyed 52 islands along the 100-km coastline.

They found the number of occupied nests fell from 176,622 to 99,946 in that period.
Their findings are contrary to other Adelie penguin populations in east Antarctica where numbers have been stable.

The most widespread penguin species, the Adelie is found along the entire Antarctic coast. Models had predicted the particular population observed by the AAD would continue to grow.

Researchers concluded a change in environmental conditions was the cause of the decline.

"We think this population decline was initially triggered by five years of extensive summer sea ice adjacent to the colony in the mid-2000s, which hampered access to the adults' foraging areas and saw virtually no chicks survive," Emmerson said in a media release.

"The frequency of these unfavorable breeding conditions subsequently remained high, and fledgling survival also began to decrease. These two processes together resulted in a more rapid population decline than would be expected if they had been acting in isolation."

She warned that the smaller the population becomes the harder it will be for individuals to survive.

"It may be that the old adage of safety in numbers is playing out for the fledglings in the vast and harsh Southern Ocean, although exactly why and how needs further investigation," Emmerson said.

二 |     Ali Fazal and Richa Chadha's Girls Will Be Girls won big at the Filmfare OTT Awards 2025. While Richa was present with her team, Ali couldn't attend due to his prior shoot commitments. But the actor admitted that he was having real FOMO (fear of missing out) as his film was bagging awards.     Girls Will Be Girls won the Filmfare Award in multiple categories, including Best Web Original Film, Best Director, Web Original Film for Shuchi Talati, Best Actor (Female), Web Original Film (Critics’) for Preeti Panigrahi, and Best Supporting Actor (Female), Web Original Film for Kani Kusruti.     Reacting to this, Ali wrote, "OH MANNNNN, am havin real fomo while our film is winning away .... all the way girls..."     Take a look at his post:               The 6th edition of the Filmfare OTT Awards honoured the finest artistes, directors, storytellers, musicians and technicians from OTT series, web original films and short films. The ceremony was held on December 15, 2025, in Mumbai.     Talking of Girls Will Be Girls, it is a coming-of-age drama set in a boarding school. It revolves around a teenager Mira's sexual awakening and her relationship with her protective mother. Directed by Shuchi Talati, it stars Preeti Panigrahi, Kesav Binoy Kiron and Kani Kusruti among others.                                                                 View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Girls Will Be Girls (@girlswillbegirls_themovie)                              Filmfare's review of Girls Will Be Girls reads, "Newcomer Preeti Panigrahi is a find. She doesn't just act and lives her character. The end scene provides catharsis not only to her character but also to the viewers. And one must mention she's acting opposite one of the best actors we have today, Kani Kusruti. They look like the perfect mother-daughter pair. Kani looks casually sexual in the film as Anila and that's something that's gnawing at her daughter. This dichotomy of being a caring mother and also a woman who has her own needs is brought alive through Kani’s superlative acting. Keshav Binoy Kiron too is a natural fit to this triangle. He manages to add a layer of ambiguity to his ‘good boy’ routine."     Also Read: Ali Fazal to Collaborate With Shakun Batra for a Film on Social Media & Modern Relationships。
