Modeling cumulative sound exposure along a seismic line to assess the risk of seismic research surveys on marine mammals in the Antarctic Treaty Area.
Zoom to upper 400 m (near-surface sound channel) Numerical modelling of sound propagation is an essential tool to assess the potential risk of air-gun shots on marine mammals and derive exposure zone radii within which certain hearing thresholds are exceeded. Here, the results of a detailed 2.5D finite-difference (FD) modelling study are presented, which takes the sound velocity profile of the ...
متن کاملRecent Advances and Future Perspectives in Microbial Phototrophy in Antarctic Sea Ice
Bacteria that utilize sunlight to supplement metabolic activity are now being described in a range of ecosystems. While it is likely that phototrophy provides an important competitive advantage, the contribution that these microorganisms make to the bioenergetics of polar marine ecosystems is unknown. In this minireview, we discuss recent advances in our understanding of phototrophic bacteria a...
متن کاملAcclimation and thermal tolerance in Antarctic marine ectotherms.
Antarctic marine species have evolved in one of the coldest and most temperature-stable marine environments on Earth. They have long been classified as being stenothermal, or having a poor capacity to resist warming. Here we show that their ability to acclimate their physiology to elevated temperatures is poor compared with species from temperate latitudes, and similar to those from the tropics...
متن کاملMarine Biology: New Light on Growth in the Cold
The recent collapse of the Antarctic Larson ice shelves revealed a slow growing benthic community on the seabed below. But a revisit just four years later revealed rapid growth of glass sponges. Antarctic continental shelves could become sites of significant carbon sequestration.
متن کاملSummer Epiphytic Diatoms from Terra Nova Bay and Cape Evans (Ross Sea, Antarctica)--A Synthesis and Final Conclusions.
Despite recent advances in polar marine biology and related fields, many aspects of the ecological interactions that are crucial for the functioning of Antarctic shallow water habitats remain poorly understood. Although epiphytic diatoms play an essential role in the Antarctic marine food web, basic information regarding their ecology, biodiversity and biogeography is largely unavailable. Here,...
