Antarctic climate change: extreme events disrupt plastic phenotypic response in Adélie penguins.

In the context of predicted alteration of sea ice cover and increased frequency of extreme events, it is especially timely to investigate plasticity within Antarctic species responding to a key environmental aspect of their ecology: sea ice variability. Using 13 years of longitudinal data, we invest...
