Abstract The Southern Ocean is a critical component of the global climate system and an
important ecoregion that contains a diverse range of interdependent flora and fauna. It also …

During the last 30 years, at-sea studies of seabirds and marine mammals in the oceans
south of the Subtropical Front have described an association with major frontal areas. More …

Climate influences a population through a variety of processes, including reproduction,
growth, migration patterns and phenology. Climate may operate either directly through …

It is generally assumed that the extreme life history traits of pelagic seabirds, such as low
fecundity or slow growth of chicks, result from the difficulties obtaining energy at sea from …

Stable carbon isotope signatures (δ 13 C) are increasingly being used to determine the
foraging habitats of consumers in the Southern Ocean. An underlying assumption is that a …

Technological advances in recent years have seen an explosion of tracking and stable
isotope studies of seabirds, often involving repeated measures from the same individuals …

Marine ecosystems are experiencing substantial disturbances due to climate change and
overfishing, and plastic pollution is an additional growing threat. Microfibres are among the …

Penguins are adapted to live in extreme environments, but they can be highly sensitive to
climate change, which disrupts penguin life history strategies when it alters the weather …

Determining the links between the behavioural and population responses of wild species to
environmental variations is critical for understanding the impact of climate variability on …

Polar regions have experienced significant warming in recent decades. Warming has been
most pronounced across the Arctic Ocean Basin and along the Antarctic Peninsula, with …
