Late Quaternary climate-driven environmental change in the Larsemann Hills, east Antarctica, multi-proxy evidence from a lake sediment core
Read more of: Late Quaternary climate-driven environmental change in the Larsemann Hills, east Antarctica, multi-proxy evidence from a lake sediment coreLittle is known about the response of terrestrial East Antarctica to climate changes during the last glacial–interglacial cycle. Here we present a continuous sediment record from a lake in the […]

Influence of nest location, density and topography on breeding success in the black-browed albatross Thalassarche melanophris
Read more of: Influence of nest location, density and topography on breeding success in the black-browed albatross Thalassarche melanophrisThe Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophris is a long-lived procellariiform that typically nests colonially and exhibits low fecundity. Previous studies on albatrosses have focussed on the bottom-up effects of food supply […]

Southern Ocean Deep Benthic Biodiversity
Read more of: Southern Ocean Deep Benthic BiodiversityThe deep sea is the largest environment on the planet, the least well known and one of the least studied. It contains extremely large habitats, and millions of km2 of […]

Mechanisms Defining Thermal Limits and Adaptation in Marine Ectotherms: An Integrative View
Read more of: Mechanisms Defining Thermal Limits and Adaptation in Marine Ectotherms: An Integrative ViewIt is widely accepted that marine biogeography is largely shaped by direct effects of temperature (Angel, 1991; Murawski, 1993). Temperature also influences biodiversity patterns at various latitudes (e.g.,Royet al.,1998; Astorga […]

Environmental Forcing and Southern Ocean Marine Predator Populations
Read more of: Environmental Forcing and Southern Ocean Marine Predator PopulationsThe Southern Ocean (Figure 11.1) is a major component within the global ocean and climate system. It not only unites the Atlantic Ocean with the Indian and Pacific Oceans, but […]

The Dynamic Mosaic Disturbance and Development of Antarctic Benthic Communities
Read more of: The Dynamic Mosaic Disturbance and Development of Antarctic Benthic CommunitiesThe continental shelf is the platform for many of the planet’s most productive ecosystems but it is exposed to high disturbance. At high latitudes, massive grounded ice sheets have extended […]

Spatial and Temporal Operation of the Scotia Sea Ecosystem
Read more of: Spatial and Temporal Operation of the Scotia Sea EcosystemAnalysis of the operation of ocean ecosystems requires an understanding of how the structure of the ecosystem is determined by interactions between physical, chemical and biological processes. Such analysis needs […]
