Emperor penguins are not only the largest species of penguin in the world but also one of the most unique. They are very social, living in colonies that can include hundreds of thousands of individuals. Nevertheless, emperor penguins are monogamous. Having selected a mate, emperor penguins remain faithful to each other for life, using vocal calls to find one another when they return to their breeding site on the compacted ice of the Antarctic continent. It is believed that different frequencies alert mates to the sound of their partner’s call.
Another interesting aspect of emperor penguins is that they return to the same site, called a rookery, to nest each year. Although their path to the rookery is different every year due to the shifting sea ice, in general, the penguins continue to use the rookery where they were hatched. Their loyalty to a particular breeding ground results in increasingly larger penguin colonies, some with more than a million birds. Males tend to arrive first to reestablish and defend their preferred nesting sites and females return a day or so later.
Emperor penguins are not considered endangered and are not currently protected under international law. In fact, in areas where reliable population counts have been conducted, the evidence suggests that populations are stable. However, due to harsh environmental conditions, some colonies have not been monitored on a consistent basis. Estimates of population sizes are at about 240,000 breeding pairs. Taking into consideration the non-breeding birds as well, the total translates into about 600,000 adult birds. Emperor chicks that reach adulthood can survive for 20 years.Summarize the main points in the lecture, and then explain how they cast doubt on the ideas in the reading passage.
during the lecture, the professor cast doubt about the ideas previously showed in the reading. Due to some research about penguin behavior, different aspects have changed when we consider the animal's life.
First, these birds are not totally monogamous. Even if they always try to find their same mate, scientists found a couple of times that penguins couldn't find the same male when they arrived in their colonies. After a few years observing the comportamental inherent to these marine birds, new discoveries demonstrated that they maintain their couples just when they could find their mates.
Second, the reading passage concerns about penguins returning to the same site that they had their last rookery. However, the professor explains about a study where penguins were monitorized during their migration. For any reason, researchers realized that penguins sometimes did not come back to their previous rookery.
Third, because of penguins colonies are very big, with thousands animals, people think that these animals are not under risk. But, the lecture has a different approach about this affirmation. Unfortunately, we are seeing a great environmental problem in the Earth's coldest areas, where we can find these birds. For this reason, we have a great chance to have penguins' colonies decreasing.
To conclude, the lecture concerns a different point of view when we compare it with the reading. penguins can be monogamous or not, can come back to the same rookery or not, and are under risk.
