• Recruitment of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba in the South Georgia region: adult fecundity and the fate of larvae

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 331:161-179 (2007)

  The high concentration of adult Antarctic krill Euphausia superba Dana around South Georgia, Antarctica, is a product of immigration and not local recruitment. We investigated whether reproduction and…

• Slow growth of Antarctic bryozoans increases over 20 years and is anomalously high in 2003

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 314:187-195 (2006)

  Some organisms are particularly appropriate models for investigation of variability in time and space for given environments. The erect bryozoan Cellarinella nutti , an endemic Antarctic species, is…

• Plankton community structure and variability in the Scotia Sea: austral summer 2003

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 309:75-91 (2006)

  Plankton community structure in the Scotia Sea was investigated during January/early February 2003 based on phytoplankton cell counts from 20 m depth and mesozooplankton counts from 0 to 400 m net…

• State-dependent energy allocation in the pelagic Antarctic silverfish Pleuragramma antarcticum: trade-off between winter reserves and buoyancy

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 326:269-282 (2006)

  Icefishes of the perciform suborder Notothenioidei dominate the Antarctic ichthyofauna. These species originated from a benthic ancestor and do not possess a swimbladder. However, some notothenioids…

• Convergence or divergence: where do short-tailed shearwaters forage in the Southern Ocean?

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 324:261-270 (2006)

  Short-tailed shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris (STSH) make use of a number of physical oceanographic features on their foraging trips to the Southern Ocean from their breeding colonies in southeast…

• Sugar dynamics in large particles during in vitro incubation experiments

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 330:67-74 (2007)

  Large particles (>60 µm) were collected using in situ pumps deployed at 30 and 200 m depth at 2 typical stations in the southern Indian Ocean (Polar Front Zone [PFZ] and Sub-Antarctic Area [SAr]). The…
