Models project severe black-browed albatross declines under high emissions
A study of 30-plus years of Southern Ocean data finds that black-browed albatrosses can adapt their foraging and wing traits, but adaptation alone may not prevent severe declines under high-emissions warming.
TLDR
The study’s models project a 78–92% chance of severe population decline by 2100 under high emissions, while low-emissions scenarios allow recovery. The research finds that emissions cuts offer more protection than evolutionary adaptation alone.
