A semi-automated line tracing technique for monitoring ice margins in Antarctic images. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2006 (Ref: 12379)
Authors:
Collings A.Williams R.N.Young N.Hyland G.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The current shape and rate of change of the margins of the Antarctic ice sheet are … poorly known. Since polar regions are inhospitable, remotely sensed images … provide an invaluable data source for studying the ice margin.

What do seals eat? Detection of prey remains in seal scats: comparing hard part and DNA techniques. International Council for the Exploration of the Sea Annual Science Conference, Aberdeen, Scotland, 20-24 September 2005 (ICES CM2005/R:23), 2005 (Ref: 12221)
Authors:
Casper R.M.Jarman C.N.Deagle B.E.Gales N.J.Hindell M.A.
Category 3: Abstract

Molecular techniques have recently been used to identify prey in the scats of pinnipeds. This new approach has developed in an attempt to overcome some of the inadequacies of traditional diet assessment methods.

ABSTRACT: Predictive species–environment models have numerous ecological and management applications, and can provide insight into the functional relationships between a species and its environment.

Respiration rate and cost of swimming for Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, in large groups in the laboratory. Marine Biology, 2005 (Ref: 11926)
Authors:
Swadling K.M.Ritz D.A.Nicol S.Osborn J.E.Gurney L.J.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract Constructing realistic energy budgets for … Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, is hampered by the … lack of data on the metabolic costs associated with … swimming. In this study respiration rates and pleopod … beating rates were measured at six current speeds.

A comparison of census methods for black-browed albatrosses breeding at the Ildefonso Islets, Chile. Third International Albatross and Petrel Conference, 23-27 August 2004, Montevideo, Uruguay., 2004 (Ref: 11660)
Authors:
Robertson G.Lawton K.Kirkwood R.Valencia J.

Arbovirus of Marine Mammals: a New Alphavirus Isolated from the Elephant Seal Louse, Lepidophthirus macrorhini . Journal of Virology, 2001 (Ref: 9615)
Authors:
Linn M.L.Gardner J.Warrilow D.Darnell G.A.McMahon C.R.Field I.Hyatt A.D.Slade R.W.Suhrbier A.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A novel alphavirus was isolated from the louse Lepidophthirus macrorhini, collected from southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, on Macquarie Island, Australia. The virus displayed classic alphavirus ultrastructure and appeared to be serologically different from known Australasian alphaviruses.

Deuterium excess in recent Antarctic snow. Journal of Geophysical Research, 1991 (Ref: 2700)
Authors:
Petit J.R.White J.W.C.Young N.W.Jouzel J.Korotkevich Y.S.
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Deuterium excess (d = dD - 8 * d18O) values in surface snow are presented for central and east Antarctica. The samples are primarily from Soviet, French, and Australian traverses. The d values exhibit a large change going from coastal sites to high-altitude sites on the ice sheet.
