For rockhopper penguins Eudyptes chrysocome at Marion Island, there were significant decreases over time in the numbers breeding and breeding success at three monitored colonies from 1985/1986 to 2006/2007, and in mass on arrival for breeding of both males and females from 1994/1995 to 2007/2008. Breeding success decreased by 0.15 chicks pair(-1) y(-1) over 22 years and was significantly correlated with mass on arrival of males and females. Survival of chicks at the guard stage was low in the late 1990s; hatching success decreased in the early 2000s. It is thought that an increasingly poor parental condition caused birds to abandon breeding at a progressively early stage. Parental condition is influenced by feeding opportunities at overwintering grounds, which have probably been altered by global climate.
