Extreme capital breeding for giants: Effects of body size on humpback whale energy expenditure and fasting endurance Ecological Modelling, 2024 (Ref: 17212)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Baleen whales are extreme capital breeders, capable of fasting for more than half a year while migrating thousands of kilometres and nursing rapidly growing offspring that quadruple in body size over the same period. To understand this energetic conundrum…

Elephant seals as sentinels of the ongoing changes affecting the Southern Ocean: Disentangling environmental and maternal effects on pup size and body condition Science of the Total Environment, 2025 (Ref: 17372)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The weaning mass of southern elephant seal pups (Mirounga leonina) is a key predictor of their first-year survival probability. However, variations in pup morphometric characteristics (length, mass and body condition i.e. the residual of the allometric relationship between log(mass) and log(length))…

Diversity and spatial distribution of pelagic amphipods in the Western Ross Sea and the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025 (Ref: 17427)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Amphipods play an important role in Southern Ocean trophic chains. Considering the key role of Pacific Ocean and sea ice ecosystems in the Earth system and the growing impact of global environmental change, it is important to collect information on the status of marine amphipod biodiversity.

Telemetry-based home range and habitat modelling reveals that the majority of areas important for pygmy blue whales are currently unprotected Biological Conservation, 2022 (Ref: 16482)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Marine migratory species tend to be overlooked in marine spatial planning due to limited knowledge of their habitats and migration pathways, resulting in a disconnect between animal migration ecology and spatial management decision making.

Modelling grouped survival times in toxicological studies using Generalized Additive Models Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2015 (Ref: 15541)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A method for combining a proportional-hazards survival time model with a bioassay model where the log-hazard function is modelled as a linear or smoothing spline function of log-concentration combined with a smoothing spline function of time is described.

Modelling interval-censored survival times in toxicological studies using generalized additive models The International Biometric Society Australasian Region Conference 2013, Mandurah, Australia, 1-5 December 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15455)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

A method for combining a proportional-hazards survival time model with a bioassay model where the log-hazard function is modelled as a linear function of log-concentration combined with a cubic smoothing spline function of time is described.

Development of appropriate bioassay and statistical methods for determining survival sensitivities of Antarctic marine biota to metal exposure 2nd Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australasia Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 4-6 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15456)
Category 3: Poster

Chemical contamination resulting from human activities has been identified in … nearshore marine environments in the vicinity of Antarctic Research Stations. To better … manage and remediate contaminated sites, and to assess the risks of ongoing activities…

Development of appropriate bioassay and statistical methods for determining survival sensitivities of Antarctic marine biota to metal exposure Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) World Congress, Berlin, Germany, 20-24 May 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15457)
Category 3: Poster

Developing water quality guidelines for Antarctic marine environments requires understanding sensitivity of biota to contaminant exposure. Toxicity tests with Antarctic … invertebrates have shown response times to metal exposure takes far longer than the durations of standard bioassay methods.

Ticks Associated with Macquarie Island Penguins Carry Arboviruses from Four Genera PLoS ONE, 2009 (Ref: 13598)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Macquarie Island, a small subantarctic island, is home to rockhopper, royal and king penguins, which are often infested with the globally distributed seabird tick, Ixodes uriae. A flavivirus, an orbivirus, a phlebovirus, and a nairovirus were isolated from these ticks and partial sequences obtained.

Using biometric measurements to determine gender of Flesh-footed Shearwaters, and their application as a tool in long-line by-catch management and ecological field studies Emu, 2007 (Ref: 13097)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract. We examined sexual dimorphism in 11 morphological characters of the Flesh-footed Shearwater (Puffinus … carneipes) and used these characters in a discriminant function analysis (DFA) to enable sexual classification in the field.

Serum proteins in the leopard seal, Hydrurga leptonyx, in Prydz Bay, Eastern Antarctica and the coast of NSW, Australia. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part B, 2005 (Ref: 12263)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Blood protein analysis including total serum protein and albumin by chemical methods, fibrinogen estimation and serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) was performed on the leopard seal, Hydrurga leptonyx.
