Marine ecosystem assessment for the Southern Ocean: birds and marine mammals in a changing climate
The massive number of seabirds (penguins and procellariiformes) and marine mammals
(cetaceans and pinnipeds)–referred to here as top predators–is one of the most iconic …

Habitat modelling of tracking data from multiple marine predators identifies important areas in the Southern Indian Ocean
Aim The distribution of marine predators is driven by the distribution and abundance of their
prey; areas preferred by multiple marine predator species should therefore indicate areas of …

Land-dependent marine species face climate-driven impacts on land and at sea
Land-dependent marine species are a unique guild of species whose life histories rely on
both land and sea. This group is exposed to climate change-related stressors 2-fold, as …

Foraging in a dynamic environment: Response of four sympatric sub‐Antarctic albatross species to interannual environmental variability
Seasonal and annual climate variations are linked to fluctuations in the abundance and
distribution of resources, posing a significant challenge to animals that need to adjust their …

Sex-differences in fine-scale home-range use in an upper-trophic level marine predator
Background The distribution of prey in the ocean is spatially and temporally patchy. How
predators respond to this prey patchiness may have consequences on their foraging …
