In marine ecosystems, time lags between environmental changes and their effects on food webs are challenging to model, yet they can have a profound impact on reproduction at higher trophic levels. We disentangle how oceanic and climatic variability influence the breeding phenology and success of a major predator species in the Southern Ocean, drawing on 24 years of data from 17,000 marked king penguins. We document a 19-day advancement in breeding phenology, alongside increased breeding success (44% in 2000 and 62% in 2023). A sliding-window analysis reveals that sea temperature and primary production in key foraging zones predict both phenology and breeding success, with lags up to several weeks and 2 years, respectively. The amplitude of their recent response, as well as their dependence on multiyear environmental conditions, underscores a potential vulnerability in a context of decreasing environment predictability. However, so far, king penguins appear to be keeping pace with environmental changes and demonstrate a remarkable resilience and important flexibility in the face of variable oceanographic conditions.
