Climate change is one of the major issues affecting our mother Earth. The change in climate include both the change in temperature and the change in precipitation. Both of these parameters are very crucial to animals and plants where they depend on them for their survival. Climate change has so many negative impacts on the biodiversity of the Earth especially in the Arctic and Antarctic continents. The rise in temperature decreases the ice coverage which in return reduces the population of the wildlife. The ice coverage is crucial to the biodiversity living in Antarctica where they depend on it for their survival. It’s very important for theirfeeding, breeding, and habitat. However, with the reduction of ice, many animals are becoming close to extinction. One of those species that were negatively impacted by climate change is emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri). These penguins require very low temperatures in order to breed and populate. Very high temperatures for these penguins could result in decreased population rate around Antarctica. An analysis was done of emperor penguin population data found in different research papers in conjunction with temperature anomalies data in Antarctica from 1983 to 2005 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The results indicated that there was an inverse relationship between the temperature and the penguin’s population. It was shown through the analysis conducted that the temperature impacted the penguins negatively throughout the years since the temperature was rising. It decreased their breeding population and chicks count dramatically in all the parts of Antarctica tested. |

RIC21572022-01-07T14:30:53Z Efectos del cambio climático en los pingüinos emperador Climate change effects on emperor penguins Saavedra, Casilda Alhatem, Taibah El cambio climático es uno de los principales problemas que afectan a nuestra madre Tierra. El cambio en el clima incluye tanto el cambio en la temperatura como el cambio en la precipitación. Ambos parámetros son muy importantes para los animales y las plantas, ya que dependen de estos para su supervivencia. El cambio climático tiene muchos impactos negativos en la biodiversidad de la Tierra, especialmente en los continentes ártico y antártico. El aumento de la temperatura disminuye la cobertura de hielo, lo que a su vez reduce la población de la vida silvestre. La cobertura de hielo es crucial para la biodiversidad que vive en la Antártida. Esta es muy importante para su alimentación, reproducción y hábitat. Sin embargo, con la reducción del hielo, muchos animales se están acercando a la extinción. Una de esas especies que han sido afectadas negativamente por el cambio climático son los pingüinos emperador (Aptenodytes forsteri). Estos pingüinos requieren temperaturas muy bajas para reproducirse y poblarse. Las temperaturas muy altas para estos pingüinos podrían resultar en una disminución de la tasa de población alrededor de la Antártida. Se realizó un análisis de los datos de la población de pingüinos emperador encontrados en diferentes trabajos de investigación junto con datos de anomalías de temperatura en la Antártida desde 1983 hasta 2005 de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica (NOAA). Los resultados indicaron que existe una relación inversa entre la temperatura y la población de pingüinos emperador. Se mostró a través del análisis realizado que la temperatura impactó negativamente a los pingüinos a lo largo de los años. Se evidencióuna disminución de su población reproductora y una dramática disminución de los polluelos en todas las regiones estudiadas de la Antártida.
