Annually monitored study colonies accounted 20% total Penguin and proved a reliable proxy changes pairs. Recent trends annually colonies, combined with trends, indicate that has increased between 2005 However, annual monitoring data also revealed large inter-annual variability makes assessing systematic challenging.
