The massive number of seabirds (penguins and procellariiformes) and marine mammals
(cetaceans and pinnipeds)–referred to here as top predators–is one of the most iconic …

Though climate change is widely known to negatively affect the distribution and abundance
of many species, few studies have focused on species that may benefit. Gentoo Penguin …

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions
between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are …

Using satellite imagery, drone imagery, and ground counts, we have assembled the first
comprehensive global population assessment of Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) …

We present the first estimate of green snow algae community biomass and distribution along
the Antarctic Peninsula. Sentinel 2 imagery supported by two field campaigns revealed 1679 …

Biodiversity is threatened by climate change and other human activities [1], but to assess
impacts, we also need to identify the current distribution of species on Earth. Predicting …

Despite concerted international effort to track and interpret shifts in the abundance and
distribution of Adélie penguins, large populations continue to be identified. Here we report …

Despite its isolation and extreme climate, Antarctica is home to diverse fauna and
associated microorganisms. It has been proposed that the most iconic Antarctic animal, the …

Fishery demand for Antarctic krill is increasing, and projected to continue increasing into the
future. Krill has the potential to contribute approximately 10% to all future marine landings …

Fast climate changes in the western Antarctic Peninsula are reducing krill density, which
along with increased fishing activities in recent decades, may have had synergistic effects …
