The unfortunate consequence is that there seems to be no sign of further breeding after this point, despite the adult penguins surviving. I think they're insinuating that the catastrophe is on-going.

From the article: "A colony some 50km away, close to the Dawson-Lambton Glacier, has seen a big rise in its numbers."

At least some of them seems to have moved on.

Ongoing but isolated to one colony so it's not a global catastrophe if that's what you think. Climate change may make it though.

Losing 5-9% of a species genetic stock is still a massive loss in my eyes, no matter what way you look at it.

It's a multi year study and they just published the results.
