Habitat use and sex-specific foraging behaviour of Adélie penguins throughout the breeding season in Adélie Land, East Antarctica
BACKGROUND Marine predators are ecosystem sentinels because their foraging behaviour and reproductive success reflect the variability occurring in the lower trophic levels of the ecosystem. In an era of environmental change, monitoring top predators species can provide valuable insights into the zones of ecological importance that need to be protected. In this context, we monitored the Adélie p...
متن کاملMoisture source of precipitation in Western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Moisture sources for snow falling in Dronning Maud Land (DML), Antarctica, are calculated for 1998 using three dimensional 5-days backward air parcel trajectories. The drilling site of the European Project onIce CoringinAntarctica(EP1CA) inDMLischosenasthemainarrivalpoint (75.0°S, 0.01"E). Adistinction is made between trajectories with and without snowfall at arrival. Of the snowfall trajectori...
متن کاملPersistent organic pollutants in benthic and pelagic organisms off Adélie Land, Antarctica.
The concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), pentachlorobenzene (PeCB) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE) were described in benthic and pelagic species collected off Adélie Land, Antarctica. Strong differences were observed among species, with reduced PeCB and HCB levels in benthic species, and elevated PCB levels in the Antarctic yellowbelly rockcod, th...
متن کاملFirst satellite-detected perturbations of outgoing longwave radiation associated with blowing snow events over Antarctica
We present the first satellite-detected perturbations of the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) associated with blowing snow events over the Antarctic ice sheet using data from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System. Significant cloud-free OLR differences are observed between the clear and blowing snow sky, with the sign andmagnitude dep...
