The polar regions, notably the Arctic and maritime Antarctic, are experiencing impacts from
climate change at magnitudes and rates that are among the highest in the world, and will …

Graphical Abstract Graphical summary of multiple aspects of Southern Ocean food web
structure and function including alternative energy pathways through pelagic food webs …

Local drivers are human activities or processes that occur in specific locations, and cause
physical or ecological change at the local or regional scale. Here, we consider marine and …

In the Southern Ocean, several zooplankton taxonomic groups, euphausiids, copepods,
salps and pteropods, are notable because of their biomass and abundance and their roles …

Southern Ocean ecosystems are globally important. Processes in the Antarctic atmosphere,
cryosphere, and the Southern Ocean directly influence global atmospheric and oceanic …

Scientific evidence is abundantly clear and convincing that due to the current trajectory of
human-derived emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, the atmosphere and ocean …

Assessing environmental changes in Southern Ocean ecosystems is difficult due to its
remoteness and data sparsity. Monitoring marine predators that respond rapidly to …

Introduction Mesopelagic fishes play a central role in the transfer of energy through open-
ocean food webs, particularly in the Southern Ocean where they are both important …

The global importance of mesopelagic fish is increasingly recognised, but they remain
poorly studied. This is particularly true in the Southern Ocean, where mesopelagic fishes are …

The fish community of the Scotia Sea is diverse and plays key roles in Antarctic food webs
and biogeochemical cycling. However, knowledge of the spatial and community structure of …
