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…
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 Arctic Ocean, also identified as the Mediterranean Sea of the North, reveals a paradox as well as similarities of both regions for some authors, as developed in this article.…
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…
The snow cover of the polar regions is an important component of the global climate system, not only because it modifies energy and moisture fluxes between the land surface and…
Climate change is one of the factors with an influence on food web structure. This month’s question is: Will animals have the necessary capacity to adjust their energetic expenditure and…
Events characterized by high temperatures in the oceans have become increasingly common, including in the Southern Ocean. This Ocean, where numerous species live, most of which are endemic to this…
In the past, artists accompanied scientific expeditions to illustrate discoveries, landscapes, new species and more. Later, photographers began to integrate campaigns to inspire their work and later held exhibitions. Antarctica…
With climate change impacts, many species are forced to alter their behaviour and distributions over time, due to the scarcity of natural resources essential for the population’s survival. In some…
