In this article, we analyze the impacts of climate change on Antarctic marine ecosystems.
Observations demonstrate large-scale changes in the physical variables and circulation of …

Is this short review we explore the genetic threats facing declining populations, focusing in
particular on empirical studies and the emerging questions they raise. At face value, the two …

This paper presents a new cluster architecture for low-power data-intensive computing.
FAWN couples low-power embedded CPUs to small amounts of local flash storage, and …

The 2008 IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) review of the status of the
world's mammals identified marine mammals (pinnipeds, cetaceans, sirenians, and the …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …

The Antarctic biota is highly endemic, and the diversity and abundance of taxonomic groups
differ from elsewhere in the world. Such characteristics have resulted from evolution in …

Population bottlenecks may lead to diminished genetic variability and correlative effects on
fitness. The Guadalupe fur seal was nearly exterminated by commercial sealers during the …

The Antarctic is unique, geographically, politically, and scientifically. It is the most remote,
hostile, and dangerous continent, while at the same time it is the most pristine and least …

Extreme and remote environments provide useful settings to test ideas about the ecological
and evolutionary drivers of biological diversity. In the sub‐A ntarctic, isolation by geographic …

Abstract The South American fur seal (SAFS), Arctocephalus australis, was severely
depleted during the 18th century. This work updates information on distribution, abundance …
