Effects of climate variation on the abundance and distribution of flamingos in the Galapagos Islands
Read more of: Effects of climate variation on the abundance and distribution of flamingos in the Galapagos IslandsEl Nino Southern Oscillation events have been associated with large fluctuations in seabird and landbird populations of the Galapagos Islands. We reveal different effects of climatic variation on the abundance […]

Linear tracks and restricted temperature ranges characterise penguin foraging pathways
Read more of: Linear tracks and restricted temperature ranges characterise penguin foraging pathwaysMarine predators are thought to follow sophisticated scale-dependent search strategies when seeking patchy and unpredictable prey. However, fine-scale information about these strategies has hitherto been difficult to obtain for diving […]

Variability in atmospheric O2 and CO2 concentrations in the southern Pacific Ocean and their comparison with model estimates
Read more of: Variability in atmospheric O2 and CO2 concentrations in the southern Pacific Ocean and their comparison with model estimatesWe examine ship-based observations of atmospheric O-2 and CO2 in the southern Pacific Ocean made during two voyages: in February 2003 and in April 2004. We found, for the Austral […]
