Table 1.

Average annual percent (and absolute) changes in the abundances of Adélie and chinstrap penguins from breeding colonies in the Western Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Sea region

Area/Region Adélie Chinstrap
Admiralty Bay −2.3 (−13,787) −2.5 (−4,255)
South Sandwich Islands −3.9 (−20,000) −4.4 (−3,715,000)
South Orkney Islands −4.5 (−482) −1.9 (−18,066)
South Shetland Islands* −2.0 (−7,247) −2.7 (−21,809)
Western Antarctic Peninsula −2.5 (−20,439) −0.17 (−35)
Overall −2.9 (−61,955) −4.3 (−3,759,165)

Averages are weighted by absolute changes in abundance and are limited to colonies with a minimum of 10 y between the first and last counts.
