A new study finds that Antarctic penguins are radically shifting the start of their breeding season as temperatures warm, potentially disrupting their ability to get food.

Over the course of 10 years, researchers used remote-controlled cameras to see when penguins set up colonies to breed at more than three dozen sites. They looked at three different species and found that all had moved up their breeding season by at least 10 days, on average. Some populations shifted their breeding season by more than 3 weeks.

The Antarctic is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth, as human emissions trap more heat in the atmosphere. The study’s authors warn that shifting breeding seasons could throw the penguins out of sync with other parts of the environment — most concerningly, other species they depend on for food.
