DOI: 10.1002/lno.11014
Abstract: We quantified phytoplankton growth and protistan grazing rates during late austral autumn 2013 and late austral spring 2014, in several glacio-marine fjords and connecting channels along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). During austral autumn, low… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11041
Abstract: Pteropods are abundant zooplankton in the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) and important grazers of phytoplankton and prey for higher trophic levels. We analyzed long-term (1993–2017) trends in summer (January–February) abundance of WAP pteropods in relation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11147
Abstract: The Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), one of the most productive regions of the Southern Ocean, is currently undergoing rapid environmental changes such as ocean acidification (OA) and increased daily irradiances from enhanced surface‐water stratification. To… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-017-2193-1
Abstract: Southern Hemisphere humpback whales breed in tropical waters and migrate to Antarctica to forage. While the breeding grounds are well defined, the population structure on Antarctic feeding grounds is poorly described. The Western Antarctic Peninsula… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-022-03042-3
Abstract: Over the last half of the 20th century, the western Antarctic Peninsula has been one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth, leading to substantial reductions in regional sea ice coverage. These changes are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.180017
Abstract: Antarctic humpback whales are recovering from near extirpation from commercial whaling. To understand the dynamics of this recovery and establish a baseline to monitor impacts of a rapidly changing environment, we investigated sex ratios and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12813
Abstract: Diatoms are one of the dominant groups in phytoplankton communities of the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Although generally well‐studied, little is known about size dependent photophysiological responses in diatom bloom formation and succession. To increase… read more here.
