• Penguins : natural history and conservation (2013, background): “Major population crashes likely occurred in 1972–73, 1982–83, and 1997–98 (Boersma 1978; Valle and Coulter 1987; Vargas et al. 2006, 2007).”
• Happy Feet in a Hostile World? The Future of Penguins Depends on Proactive Management of Current and Expected Threats (2019, background): “, 2009), can also cause abrupt shifts in prey distribution with potentially dramatic consequences for seabirds, as demonstrated by the population crashes experienced by Humboldt and Galápagos penguins in 1982–1983 and 1997–1998 (Hays, 1986; Paredes and Zavalaga, 1998; Vargas et al., 2006).”
• Plasmodium blood parasite found in endangered Galapagos penguins (Spheniscus mendiculus) (2009, background): “El Niño events reduce populations of the Galapagos penguin by as much as 50% (Vargas et al., 2006), as warmer waters disrupt upwelling of nutrient-rich cold water that supports the marine ecosystem.”
