Emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri) penguin and this inefficiency would limit its chance of survival. Another factor is the abundance of food‚ in the Antarctic the food supply is vast and consistent due to such things as the convergence zone and seasonal plankton blooms contrast this to the Galapagos Islands where food supplies vary immensely due to the climate and currents. Because of this the Galapagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus) is a smaller species of penguin compared to the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes

1. The science of biogeography is the description of distribution of life and the explanation of this description. The description is based on both time and space. This describes how things look and why they are there. It also looks to answer the question – are these features the same over time? Biogeography arose with the theory that life on earth is a non-random distribution. This is the most important observation leading to the field of biogeography. The study of biogeography includes many other

persistent. High levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide‚ caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels‚ are absorbed by the oceans‚ where the gas dissolves into carbonic acid. This elevated acidity inhibits the ability of marine animals‚ including many plankton organisms‚ to create shells‚ disrupting life within the very foundation of the ocean’s food web. Widespread deforestation in the Amazon forest and the melting of the ice cap in Antarctica is an example of this‚ since‚ all raw materials that aid
