Influence of sampling protocol on diet determination of gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua and Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella
Read more of: Influence of sampling protocol on diet determination of gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua and Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazellaThe influence of two sampling protocols on diet determination of two marine predators, the gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) and Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella), was investigated. The collection of diet […]

The diet of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis, Linnaeus 1758, in years of contrasting prey availability at South Georgia
Read more of: The diet of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis, Linnaeus 1758, in years of contrasting prey availability at South GeorgiaThe diet of breeding white-chinned petrels was studied during the summers of 1996 and 1998 at South Georgia. Krill abundance/availability was high throughout 1996 but apparently low at the beginning […]

Do life patterns differ between two Scotia Arc localities? A preliminary investigation of three erect Antarctic bryozoan species
Read more of: Do life patterns differ between two Scotia Arc localities? A preliminary investigation of three erect Antarctic bryozoan speciesErect bryozoans are extremely abundant and diverse in polar waters and individual species may span a wide range in latitude and bathymetry. A number of aspects of lifestyle, including polypide […]
