Ecogeochemistry—the application of geochemical techniques to fundamental questions in
population and community ecology—has been used in animal migration studies in terrestrial …

Animal movements and the acquisition and allocation of resources provide mechanisms for
individual behavioural traits to propagate through population, community and ecosystem …

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 …

Enrichment of the stable isotopes 13 C and 15 N across trophic levels is a commonly used
tool in studies on organic matter flow and food webs. However, there is still no accepted …

Skates by virtue of their abundance and widespread occurrence appear to play an influential
role in the food webs of demersal marine communities. However, few quantitative dietary …

Juveniles of a number of reef fish species develop in shallow-water Œnursery¹ habitats such
as mangroves and seagrass beds, and then migrate to the coral reef. This implies that some …

Cephalopods play a key role in the marine environment but knowledge of their feeding
habits is limited by lack of data. Here, we have developed a new tool to investigate their …

Human-induced habitat destruction, overexploitation, introduction of alien species and
climate change are causing species to go extinct at unprecedented rates, from local to …

On continental shelves in arctic and subarctic seas, much of the production from spring
blooms at the retreating ice edge may sink to the bottom with little grazing by zooplankton …

Because of the unique conditions that exist around the Antarctic continent, Southern Ocean
(SO) ecosystems are very susceptible to the growing impact of global climate change and …
