"Ancient DNA provides a unique opportunity to look ... The genomes of the ancient and modern Adélie penguins sequenced in the study will provide an incredible resource for future research ...

Penguin poop is stinky but useful. In Antarctica, the birds’ nutrient-rich guano allows mosses and other organisms to flourish in an otherwise inhospitable place. And, since poop stains on the ice are ...

We set out to change that. The most suitable sediments are exposed near the coast of the icy continent, where penguins like to breed. Their poo is a rich source of DNA, providing information about ...

Analysis of sedimentary ancient DNA has illuminated 6,000 years of the lives of Adélie penguin colonies on Antarctica's Ross Sea coast, showing how animals in the region responded to climate and ...

Scientists have used ancient DNA to help reconstruct 6,000 years of penguin history at the South Pole. The researchers found that Adélie penguins had taken over the habitat of southern elephant ...

In 2019 she teamed up with colleagues in New Zealand and the USA, and using ancient DNA and morphology, described two recently extinct penguins from New Zealand fossil records. Her research ...

Tanking doesn’t guarantee success. No. 1 draft picks don’t guarantee championships. That the Penguins still play as hard as ...
