Journal ArticleDOI
Polar ocean ecosystems in a changing world
TL;DR: Disentangling the effects of human exploitation of upper trophic levels from basin-wide, decade-scale climate cycles to identify long-term, global trends is a daunting challenge facing polar bio-oceanography.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Current and expected changes in ASO physical habitats in response to climate change are reviewed, including how these changes may impact the autecology of marine biota: microbes, zooplankton, salps, Antarctic krill, fish, cephalopods, marine mammals, seabirds, and benthos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean circulation off east Antarctica affects ecosystem structure and sea-ice extent
Stephen Nicol,Tim Pauly,NL Bindoff,Simon W. Wright,Deborah Thiele,Graham W. Hosie,Peter G. Strutton,Peter G. Strutton,Eric J. Woehler +8 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that along this coastline ocean circulation determines both the sea-ice conditions and the level of biological productivity at all trophic levels as well as the scales of local surveys and global observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Krill, Currents, and Sea Ice: Euphausia superba and Its Changing Environment
TL;DR: A generalized conceptual model of krill life history is presented, based on previous descriptions, observations, and recent data from the scientific literature, that takes into account a range of findings on krill biology and on the relationships between Antarctic krill and its biotic and abiotic environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whales as marine ecosystem engineers.
Joe Roman,James A. Estes,Lyne Morissette,Craig R. Smith,Daniel P. Costa,James J. McCarthy,J. B. Nation,Stephen Nicol,Andrew J. Pershing,Andrew J. Pershing,Victor Smetacek +10 more
TL;DR: The decline in great whale numbers, estimated to be at least 66% and perhaps as high as 90%, has likely altered the structure and function of the oceans, but recovery is possible and in many cases is already underway.
