The rate and extent of global biodiversity change is surpassing our ability to measure, monitor and forecast trends. We propose an interconnected worldwide system of observation networks — a global biodiversity observing system (GBiOS)…
Genetic diversity is essential for maintaining healthy populations and ecosystems. Several approaches have recently been … developed to evaluate population genetic trends without necessarily collecting new genetic data. Such "genetic diversity … indicators" enable rapid…
Under the recently adopted Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, 196 Parties committed to reporting the status of genetic diversity for all species. To facilitate reporting, three genetic diversity indicators were developed…
Molecular tools are increasingly applied for assessing and monitoring biodiversity and informing conservation action. While recent developments in genetic and genomic methods provide greater sensitivity in analysis and the capacity to address new questions…
Investigating ecological relationships between predators and their environment is essential to understand the response of marine ecosystems to climate variability and change. This is particularly true in polar regions, where sea ice (a sensitive climate variable)…
No detailed report on marine mammals has been published … previously from the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911 –14 … (AAE)or the British,Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929 –31 (BANZARE).
The use of sophisticated telemetry logging devices has revealed that short-finned pilot whales employ … energetic sprints to chase down their deep-dwelling prey. These sprints are costly in terms of energy, and therefore oxygen…
A barotropic tidal model has been applied to the Amery Ice Shelf cavity and Prydz … Bay region of East Antarctica. The sensitivity of the tidal solution of the model to … variation of the water column thickness of the Amery Ice Shelf cavity has been … determined.
Between October 2001 and March 2002 six transects were completed at monthly intervals in the Sub-Antarctic Zone … (SAZ) and Inter-Sub-Antarctic Front Zone (ISAFZ)/Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) in the Southern Ocean south of Australia.
Between November 2001 and March 2002 an Australian/Japanese collaborative study completed six passes of a transect … line in the Seasonal-Ice Zone (south of 621S) along 1401E. Zooplankton samples were collected with a NORPAC net on … 22–28 November, and a Continuous Plankton Recorder on 10…
