No global synthesis of the status of baleen whales has been published since the 2008 IUCN
Red List assessments. Many populations remain at low numbers from historical commercial …

The Scotia Sea ecosystem is a major component of the circumpolar Southern Ocean system,
where productivity and predator demand for prey are high. The eastward-flowing Antarctic …

Surveys of Euphausia superba often target localised shelves and ice edges where their
growth rates and predation losses are atypically high. Emphasis on these areas has led to …

More and more studies are demonstrating that populations of animals‐from herbivores to top
predators, vertebrates and invertebrates‐are limited by their food, and that the availability of …

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, has been studied since the early 1920s including
distribution, life cycle and behavioural biology. Quantitative aspects of distribution, biomass …

Sea surface temperature (SST) time-series from the southwest Atlantic and the El Niño 4
region in the western Pacific were compared to an index of annual calving success of the …

The Southern Ocean is a major component within the global ocean and climate system and
potentially the location where the most rapid climate change is most likely to happen …

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions
between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are …

Antarctic krill is a major prey species for a diverse array of Southern Ocean predators. The
amount of krill that predators consume, and how this changes over space and time, is a key …

Climate variability has strong effects on marine ecosystems, with repercussions that range in
scale from those that impact individuals to those that impact the entire food web. Climate …
