Monitoring benthic biodiversity in Antarctica is vital for understanding ecological change in response to climate-driven pressures. This work is typically performed using high-resolution imagery captured in situ, though manual annotation […]
As the world’s strongest zonal surface winds, changes in the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) can profoundly affect atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations, ocean-cryosphere domains and precipitation patterns in […]
Individuals face a trade‐off between allocating resources to reproduction or self‐maintenance, yet the drivers of the existence and strength of such trade‐off have been hard to determine. Environmental conditions are […]
Located in the central part of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, the Argentine Islands-Kyiv Peninsula region is a hotspot of moss diversity, with 51 species and one variety currently known. However, […]
Despite the remoteness of their breeding sites, subantarctic seabirds are susceptible to anthropogenic pollutants (e.g. microplastics) and other chemical stressors (e.g. plastic additives) that are released from ships and research […]
Quasi-linear diffusion theory is widely used in radiation belt modeling to describe resonant interactions between charged particles and electromagnetic waves. The diffusion rates depend on the wave spectrum and properties […]
Robust optimization over time (ROOT) is the combination of robust optimization and dynamic optimization. In ROOT, frequent changes to deployed solutions are undesirable, which can be due to the high […]
Population clustering methods, which consider the position and fitness of individuals to form sub-populations in multi-population algorithms, have shown high efficiency in tracking the moving global optimum in dynamic optimization […]
Many of the major climate themes over Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean in 2022 were a continuation of those seen during 2021. Most notable was the persistence of a […]
Substantial research exists on predation and its ecology. Most research has focused on durophagous fishes, brachyuran crabs, and lobsters. Data are lacking, however, on soft-bodied predators like anemones, and their […]
Atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations have more than doubled since the beginning of the industrial age, making CH4 the second most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2). The oil […]
Monitored seabird populations have declined by up to 70% worldwide since the 1950s. Yet, data on long-term seabird population dynamics prior to the anthropogenic era are largely unknown. This limits […]
