This study investigates the deep‐sea food‐web at the South Sandwich Islands in the Southern Ocean, focusing on how net primary production drives interannual changes in food chain length and overall…
Cephalopods (squid and octopods) play an essential role in the Southern Ocean’s ecosystem, acting as a link between lower trophic levels and top predators. However, their ecological role in the…
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal, which as seen its concentrations increase in the environment due to anthropogenic activities. It bioaccumulates in organisms throughout life and biomagnifies in food webs,…
The article examines how climate change and warming Southern Ocean waters can increase the availability of mercury (Hg) in the Antarctic marine food web, due to the release of ice-stored…
Squid are pelagic and feed on a range of prey, including fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans, with their diet shifting over their lives. They play a key role in the Southern…
The Southern Ocean is critical to the rest of the oceans, accounting for one-third of global carbon dioxide sequestration and playing an important role in mitigating climate change by lowering…
Squid species in the Southern Ocean play a crucial role in the ecosystem by acting as a link between lower trophic levels and top predators. Despite their importance, there have…
The Southern Ocean, encircling Antarctica with its predominantly westerly winds and currents, hosts numerous isolated oceanic islands. Its biological landscape has long intrigued researchers due to its susceptibility to large-scale…
Trace and rare earth elements compounds present in the marine environment are mainly transferred through the diet of organisms. Given the significance of seafood as a source of essential nutrients…
Since the Industrial Revolution, mercury (Hg) concentrations in the environment have been increasing due to anthropogenic activities. The toxic effect that this metal has on animals and humans led to…
