Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus at South Georgia were heavily exploited during 20th century industrial whaling, to the point of local near-extirpation. Although legal whaling for blue whales ceased in the 1960s…
Free-living terrestrial mites (Acari) have persisted through numerous glacial cycles in Antarctica. Very little is known, however, of their genetic diversity and distribution, particularly within the Ross Sea region. To redress this gap, we sampled mites throughout the Ross Sea region…
To understand the scope and scale of the loss of biodiversity, tools are required that can be applied in a standardized manner to all species globally, spanning realms from land to the open ocean.
Evaluating the effects of climate change on Antarctic marine living resources is a priority topic for CCAMLR and was identified by the 2022 Scientific Committee Symposium as a key area of research. Acknowledging the need to better coordinate, target and integrate scientific advice on climate change…
Evaluating the effects of climate change on Southern Ocean marine living resources is a priority topic for CCAMLR and was identified by the 2022 Scientific Committee Symposium as a key area of research. Acknowledging the need to better coordinate…
Directional frequency … analysis and recording (DIFAR) sonobuoys can allow real-time acoustic … localization of baleen whales for underwater tracking and remote sensing, but limited availability of hardware and software has prevented wider usage.
Previous underwater recordings made in New Zealand have identified a complex sequence of low frequency sounds that have been attributed to blue whales based on similarity to blue whale songs in other areas.
During the summer of 2008/09, measurements were taken at 34 magnetotelluric (MT) stations along profiles totaling approximately 180 line km in the Prydz Bay region of Antarctica. Prydz Bay comprises several regions of coastal outcrops with distinct geological histories…
As a result of selective pressures faced during lactation, vocal recognition may … play a crucial role in maintaining the phocid mother–pup bond during the period … of dependence. To investigate this possibility, we examined whether Weddell seal … (Leptonychotes weddellii)…
Vocal recognition may function as a critical factor in maintaining the phocid mother-pup bond during lactation. For vocal recognition to function, the caller must produce individually distinct calls that are recognised by their intended recipient.
