It was thought that the Southern Ocean was relatively free of microplastic contamination;
however, recent studies and citizen science projects in the Southern Ocean have reported …

The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a highly productive marine ecosystem where
extended periods of change have been observed in the form of glacier retreat, reduction of …

Since the start of the industrial revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are considered a keystone species for higher trophic
level predators along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) during the austral summer. The …

The Northern Antarctic Peninsula (NAP), located in West Antarctica, is amongst the most
impacted regions by recent warming events. Its vulnerability to climate change has already …

Climate change will affect Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, krill-dependent predators, and
