Temporal variability in call rates of Weddell (leoptonychotes weddellii) and Leopard (Hydrurga leptonyx) seals near Davis station, East Antarctica Marine Mammal Science, 2025 (Ref: 17471)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We investigated Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) and leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) vocalizations using passive acoustic monitoring beneath landfast ice and open water, 5.6?km seaward from Davis Station, East Antarctica. Eight-minute recordings were manually sampled at 1?h intervals over 24?

The ongoing decrease in numbers of breeding female southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina L.) at Macquarie Island Antarctic Science, 2025 (Ref: 17326)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Population monitoring provides information on species conservation status. We reassess the status of the southern elephant seal population at Macquarie Island. The number of cows on the isthmus, ~20% of the total population, correlated with counts for the whole island (i.e.

Origins of natural and anthropogenic sounds in a coastal, seasonally ice-covered, Antarctic marine soundscape Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2025 (Ref: 17236)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Baseline characterisation of the acoustic underwater environment is integral to understanding changes in the soundscape of a location. We used passive acoustic monitoring to investigate the soundscape of a seasonally ice-covered…

Occurrences and activities of New Zealand sea lions Phocarctos hookeri at non-natal Macquarie Island (1965–1980) New Zealand Journal of Zoology, 2024 (Ref: 17237)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The distribution of New Zealand sea lions is typically localised to New Zealand and its remote subantarctic islands. However, non-resident male sea lions were seen on Macquarie Island, 650 km from their nearest natal islands, in all months of all years from 1965 to 1980.

A dataset of Antarctic ecosystems in ice-free lands: classification, descriptions, and maps. Scientific Data, 2025 (Ref: 17260)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctica, Earth's least understood and most remote continent, is threatened by human disturbances and climate-related changes, underscoring the imperative for biodiversity inventories to inform conservation. Antarctic ecosystems support unique species and genetic diversity…

Diminishing numbers of male southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina Pinnipedia: Phocidae, Linnaeus, 1758) at the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica (1957–2022) Antarctic Science, 2024 (Ref: 17161)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A proportion of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) population that breeds in the Kerguelen Plateau region seasonally migrates between their natal sub-Antarctic islands and moult haul-out locations on the Antarctic coastline.

Incidental pinnipeds at high latitudes of the Vestfold Hills, Prydz Bay, East Antarctica Antarctic Science, 2024 (Ref: 17064)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Species distributions are predicted to change with future climate-associated ecosystem changes such that so-called 'vagrant' individuals may become established or re-establish in areas currently thought to be beyond their principle ranges.

Tracking the foraging migrations of Marion Island southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) during their first year of life Marine Mammal Science, 2023 (Ref: 16894)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The first year of life is critical for large mammals to acquire foraging and predator avoidance skills. Southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) pups wean at approximately three weeks of age and depart on their first foraging trips in midsummer…

A Sealers Midden Provides Evidence a Live Pig (Sus scrofa) was Taken Ashore at Heard Island During the "Elephanting" Industry (1855–1882). Journal of Maritime Archaeology, 2012 (Ref: 14716)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Livestock was often released onto remote Southern Ocean islands as a food source for shipwreck survivors during the industrial whaling and sealing era. Although animals were put ashore at nearby Isles Kerguelen and Crozet…
