Predictive ethoinformatics reveals the complex migratory behaviour of a pelagic seabird, the Manx Shearwater
Read more of: Predictive ethoinformatics reveals the complex migratory behaviour of a pelagic seabird, the Manx ShearwaterUnderstanding the behaviour of animals in the wild is fundamental to conservation efforts. Advances in bio-logging technologies have offered insights into the behaviour of animals during foraging, migration and social […]

Impact of atmospheric forcing on Antarctic continental shelf water masses
Read more of: Impact of atmospheric forcing on Antarctic continental shelf water massesThe Antarctic continental shelf seas feature a bimodal distribution of water mass temperature, with the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas flooded by Circumpolar Deep Water that is several degrees Celsius warmer […]

Movements and activities of male black-tailed gulls in breeding and sabbatical years
Read more of: Movements and activities of male black-tailed gulls in breeding and sabbatical yearsLong-lived animals sometimes skip one or more breeding seasons; however, little is known about their movements and activities during such ‘sabbatical’ periods. Here we present novel data on year-round movements […]

Recent oceanic changes in the Arctic in the context of long-term observations
Read more of: Recent oceanic changes in the Arctic in the context of long-term observationsThis synthesis study assesses recent changes of Arctic Ocean physical parameters using a unique collection of observations from the 2000s and places them in the context of long-term climate trends […]

Antarctic crabs: invasion or endurance?
Read more of: Antarctic crabs: invasion or endurance?Recent scientific interest following the “discovery” of lithodid crabs around Antarctica has centred on a hypothesis that these crabs might be poised to invade the Antarctic shelf if the recent […]

Solar wind dynamic pressure effect on planetary wave propagation and synoptic-scale Rossby Wave Breaking
Read more of: Solar wind dynamic pressure effect on planetary wave propagation and synoptic-scale Rossby Wave BreakingWe provide statistical evidence of the effect of the solar wind dynamic pressure (Psw) on the northern winter and spring circulations. We find that the vertical structure of the Northern […]

Deep boundary current disintegration in Drake Passage
Read more of: Deep boundary current disintegration in Drake PassageThe fate of a deep boundary current that originates in the Southeast Pacific and flows southward along the continental slope of South America is elucidated. The current transports poorly ventilated […]

Rapid sea-level rise along the Antarctic margins in response to increased glacial discharge
Read more of: Rapid sea-level rise along the Antarctic margins in response to increased glacial dischargeThe Antarctic shelf seas are a climatically and ecologically important region, and are at present receiving increasing amounts of freshwater from the melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its […]

Nonbreeding distribution of flesh-footed shearwaters and the potential for overlap with north Pacific fisheries
Read more of: Nonbreeding distribution of flesh-footed shearwaters and the potential for overlap with north Pacific fisheriesPopulations of flesh-footed shearwaters on Lord Howe Island, Tasman Sea, have declined recently, with mortality in longline fisheries likely to be one of the major causes. It is therefore imperative […]

Distribution, population dynamics and growth rates of Thysanopoda acutifrons, Thysanoessa inermis and Nematobrachion boöpis in the Irminger Sea, North Atlantic
Read more of: Distribution, population dynamics and growth rates of Thysanopoda acutifrons, Thysanoessa inermis and Nematobrachion boöpis in the Irminger Sea, North AtlanticEuphausiids are an important component of the northern North Atlantic ecosystem and several species are found in the Irminger Sea. However, data on euphausiids in this region are few, particularly […]

Getz Ice Shelf melting response to changes in ocean forcing
Read more of: Getz Ice Shelf melting response to changes in ocean forcingThe large and complex Getz Ice Shelf extends along nearly half of the West Antarctic coastline in the Amundsen Sea, and is exposed to a more variable ocean environment than […]
