Abstract Antarctic and Southern Ocean (ASO) marine ecosystems have been changing for at
least the last 30 years, including in response to increasing ocean temperatures and changes …

The ocean has been shielding the earth from the worst effects of rapid climate change by
absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This absorption of CO 2 is driving …

Several recent climate impact assessments on polar regions have been undertaken,
including the synthesis report on Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (AMAP …

Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (hereafter 'krill') occur in regions undergoing rapid
environmental change, particularly loss of winter sea ice. During recent years, harvesting of …

Although Antarctic sea ice is undergoing a slight increase in overall extent, major regional
changes are occurring in its spatio-temporal characteristics (most notably in sea ice …

Cumulative human impacts across the world's oceans are considerable. We therefore
examined a single model taxonomic group, the penguins (Spheniscidae), to explore how …

Understanding climate change impacts on top predators is fundamental to marine
biodiversity conservation, due to their increasingly threatened populations and their …

Penguins are adapted to live in extreme environments, but they can be highly sensitive to
climate change, which disrupts penguin life history strategies when it alters the weather …

Over the last century, major climate changes and intense human exploitation of natural living
resources have occurred in the Southern Ocean, potentially affecting its ecosystems up to …

Determining the links between the behavioural and population responses of wild species to
environmental variations is critical for understanding the impact of climate variability on …
