We review the post-glacial climate variability along the East Antarctic coastline using
terrestrial and shallow marine geological records and compare these reconstructions with …

Abstract The Southern Ocean ecosystem is undergoing rapid physical and biological
changes that are likely to have profound implications for higher‐order predators. Here, we …

Ornithogenic or bird-formed soils have accumulated in many coastal regions around
Antarctica as a result of breeding activities by pygoscelid penguins, especially the Adélie …

Seabirds have substantial influence on geochemical circulation of elements, serving as a
link for substance exchange between their foraging area and colonies. In this study, we …

Abstract The Ross Sea has the world's largest marine protected area. Modified Circumpolar
Deep Water (MCDW) has significant effects on physical and biological processes in the …

Biological responses to climate and environmental changes in remote polar regions are of
increasing interest in global change research. Terrestrial and marine polar ecosystems have …

As a result of climate changes, penguins are predicted to be at risk of losing their breeding
habitats. Changes in penguin colony distribution suggest that some colonies have withstood …

The 'krill surplus' hypothesis in Antarctica posits that the historic depletion of krill-eating
whales and seals in the 18–20th centuries provided a surplus of krill in the Southern Ocean …

Abstract The Ross Sea (Antarctica) is one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the
Southern Ocean and supports nearly one million breeding pairs of Adélie penguins …

Ornithogenic soils retain relevant information regarding the history of Adélie penguin
colonization and settlement in the Antarctic region. Studies on present and past penguin …
