Variability in sea ice cover and climate elicit sex specific responses in an Antarctic predator
Contrasting regional changes in Southern Ocean sea ice have occurred over the last 30 years with distinct regional effects on ecosystem structure and function. Quantifying how Antarctic predators respond to such changes provides the context for predicting how climate variability/change will affect these assemblages into the future. Over an 11-year time-series, we examine how inter-annual variab...
متن کاملDietary habits of polar bears in Foxe Basin, Canada: possible evidence of a trophic regime shift mediated by a new top predator
Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) subpopulations in several areas with seasonal sea ice regimes have shown declines in body condition, reproductive rates, or abundance as a result of declining sea ice habitat. In the Foxe Basin region of Nunavut, Canada, the size of the polar bear subpopulation has remained largely stable over the past 20 years, despite concurrent declines in sea ice habitat. We use...
متن کاملRoss Sea Ice Motion, Area Flux, and Deformation
The sea ice motion, area export, and deformation of the Ross Sea ice cover are examined with satellite passive microwave and RADARSAT observations. The record of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, from 1998 and 2000, allows the estimation of the variability of ice deformation at the small scale ( 10 km) and to assess the quality of the longer record of passive microwave ice mo...
متن کاملCharacterization of winter foraging locations of Adélie penguins along the Western Antarctic Peninsula, 2001–2002
In accord with the hypotheses driving the Southern Ocean Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (SO GLOBEC) program, we tested the hypothesis that the winter foraging ecology of a major top predator in waters off the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae), is constrained by oceanographic features related to the physiography of the region. This hypothesis grew from ...
متن کاملSurvey of overexploited amount of tuna fish (tuna fish, seer fish and billfish) in Iranian Southern Waters (Persian Gulf and Oman Sea)
Tuna fish from the order Perciform and the scombridae family, with 15 genera and 52 species, it has been an important economic fish for most countries and the most valuable economic aquatic are in industrial catch in the world. The rate of overfishing in the southern waters (from 1997 to 2016) in 2019 was based on CMSY model and R software and Bayesian status approach (Problem solving based on ...
