Migrating baleen whales transport high-latitude nutrients to tropical and subtropical ecosystems

Baleen whales migrate from high latitude feeding grounds to subtropical reproductive winter grounds, translocating limiting nutrients across ecosystems. This study estimates the latitudinal movement of nutrients from carcasses, placentas and urea for four species of baleen whales that exhibit annual migrations.

Tracking of marine predators to protect Southern Ocean ecosystems

Tracking data from 17 marine predator species in the Southern Ocean are used to identify Areas of Ecological Significance, the protection of which could help to mitigate increasing pressures on Southern Ocean ecosystems.

Projected shifts in the foraging habitat of crabeater seals along the Antarctic Peninsula

Crabeater seals feed predominantly on Antarctic krill. Combining seal tracks and diving behaviour with environmental variables allows the future foraging habitat, and therefore krill distribution, to be predicted, suggesting a shift offshore and south along the western Antarctic Peninsula.

The Antarctic Weddell seal genome reveals evidence of selection on cardiovascular phenotype and lipid handling

The Antarctic Weddell inhabits one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Comparative genomics with close relatives reveals the specific genetic adaptations for cardiovascular and fat metabolism that enable it to thrive.
