The Southern Ocean has long been considered a pristine marine environment, protected from pollutants such as microplastics by its remote location and limited human presence (Waller et al., 2017). However, […]
Ecological feedbacks are fundamental features of the Earth system, affecting physical processes and chemical cycles. Our understanding of the interactions underlying these feedbacks at different spatial and temporal scales and […]
An ecosystem-based approach to fishery management requires, inter alia, knowledge of fishery impacts on both target and non-target species, as well as the wider ecosystem. To support management of the […]
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes net heating in the troposphere and net cooling at higher atmospheric levels, which results in long-term changes of many other […]
The Arctic around Svalbard has experienced among the most intense, sustained warming anywhere on Earth for multiple decades, which is projected to continue. Increasing air and sea temperatures are not […]
Highlights • The Antarctic Peninsula, part of British Antarctic Territory, is warming rapidly, up to two times the global mean rate of 0.27°C per decade. • Substantial and irreparable environmental […]
Breeding in sympatry may increase competition among closely related species, especially when these species are colonial central-place foragers. Niche partitioning, for example through segregation in space, time, habitat or diet, […]
Understanding the connectivity between spawning and nursery grounds of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is essential for elucidating population dynamics and informing ecosystem-based management of krill. This study employed a regional […]
The Antarctic Peninsula is warming rapidly, with more frequent extreme temperature and precipitation events, reduced sea ice, glacier retreat, ice shelf collapse, and ecological shifts. Here, we review its behaviour […]
The Arctic Ocean has been changing rapidly in a warming climate. To monitor these changes, it is useful to classify the Arctic Ocean into water masses-bodies of water with similar […]
Walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) are experiencing rapid habitat change, concomitant with dramatic sea ice declines in the Arctic. Reduction in sea ice also creates the potential for reduced benthic production and […]
Precise synchronization of paleoclimate records is essential for inferring the dynamics and past evolution of the climate system. For the last glacial period, the time scales of ice cores from […]
