This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book encompasses the body of available scientific information on the notothenioid fish Pleuragramma antarctica commonly known as Antarctic silverfish. This plankton-feeder of the intermediate trophic level is the most abundant fish in the coastal regions of high Antarctica, and plays a pivotal ecological role as the main prey of top predators like seals, penguins, whales and Antarctic toothfish. Broad circum-polar distribution, a key role in the Antarctic shelf pelagic ecosystem, and adaptations makes understanding the species’ likely response to environmental change relevant to foresee the potential responses at the local ecosystem level. Additionally, a detailed understanding of the abundance and trophic interactions of such a dominant keystone species is a vital element of informing the development of marine spatial planning and marine protected areas in the Antarctic continental shelf region. Experts in the field provide here unique insights into the evolutionary adaptation, eco-physiology, trophic ecology, reproductive and population ecology of the Antarctic silverfish and provide new clues about its vulnerability in facing the challenges of the ongoing environmental changes.

Book excerpt: Updated throughout, the 7th edition of Bradt's Antarctica: a Guide to Wildlife is the most practical guide to the flora and fauna available for those 'going south'. Celebrating the amazing and often unique species of this spectacular environment, the title features chapters on the region's famous whales and penguins, and also on lesser known species such as skuas and sheathbills, with full coverage of plumage and identification. Each chapter is accompanied by vibrant illustrations from Dafila Scott to help bring species to life. Tony Soper's immaculate and engaging text remains the indispensible choice for the intrepid wildlife enthusiast. Antarctica's wildlife is under threat. The Southern Ocean is warming and the most obvious effect is on the continental ice shelves. Spectacular retreats and monster carvings from the west coast of the peninsula have been seen in recent decades. Less ice means fewer krill, which depend on the ice-edge for the algae which nourish them. In turn, this will impact on seal and whale numbers. In the case of penguins, while kings and macaronis, for instance, are doing well, the magnificently adapted and truly Antarctic species, Adélies and emperors, are in decline. In the case of emperors, maybe by as much as 50%. Bradt's Antarctica not only helps you to identify and understand species and habitats, it also explains the issues faced by this extraordinary continent, regarded by many as one of the most precious places on the planet.

Book excerpt: “This bracing history charts the myths, the exploration, and the inhabitants of the all-too-real and wild circumpolar ocean to our south.” —The Sydney Morning Herald, Pick of the Week Unlike the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic Oceans with their long maritime histories, little is known about the Southern Ocean. This book takes readers beyond the familiar heroic narratives of polar exploration to explore the nature of this stormy circumpolar ocean and its place in Western and Indigenous histories. Drawing from a vast archive of charts and maps, sea captains’ journals, whalers’ log books, missionaries’ correspondence, voyagers’ letters, scientific reports, stories, myths, and her own experiences, Joy McCann embarks on a voyage of discovery across its surfaces and into its depths, revealing its distinctive physical and biological processes as well as the people, species, events, and ideas that have shaped our perceptions of it. The result is both a global story of changing scientific knowledge about oceans and their vulnerability to human actions and a local one, showing how the Southern Ocean has defined and sustained southern environments and people over time. Beautifully and powerfully written, Wild Sea will raise a broader awareness and appreciation of the natural and cultural history of this little-known ocean and its emerging importance as a barometer of planetary climate change. “A sensitive portrait of a complex ecosystem, from krill to blue whales, and of the ice, winds, and currents that are critical to the circulation of the world’s oceans.” —Harper’s “Wilderness seekers will rejoice in this stirring portrait . . . McCann deftly navigates both natural glories and archival complexities.” —Nature

Download or read book Recent Antarctic and Subantarctic Brachiopods written by Merrill W. Foster and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 1974 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 21. The Recent brachiopod faunas from southernmost South America, Antarctica, and the Subantarctic consisting of 21 genera and 37 species are described from new material. New taxa include the genera Manithyris and Bathynanus. Also new are 11 species: Compsothyris ballenyi, Hispanirhynchia? chiliensis, Manithyris rossi, Liothyrella multiporosa, Liothyrella scotti, Bathynanus tenuicostatus, Eucalathis macrorhynchus, Amphithyris hallettensis, Dallina eltanini, Fallax antarcticus, and Magellania? spinosa. Factor analysis was used to study relationships among morphological characters and environmental parameters. In Liothyrella, negative associations were found between beak height and water depth. The size of the pedicle opening within this genus is associated with the width of the hinge plate and the loop; apparently, these associations are related to increased dorsal adjustor muscle size with increased pedicle size. Similar relationships are found in the terebratellids, although here all of the characters are also negatively associated with water depth. Characters negatively associated with water depth may relate to the differing current strength at various depths. Puncta density is positively correlated with water temperature. Examples of brachiopod variation are discussed. Synonyms have resulted from former failure to study large samples and to appreciate the extent of brachiopod variation. A priori valuation of certain characters as being specific is unwarranted, since sibling species may be more similar than different subspecies of the same species. Many Recent and fossil brachiopod genera are too narrow in definition owing to oversplitting or to a narrow conception of monophyly. I advocate somewhat broader and more practical genera for obtaining the maximal information value from such taxa. Brachiopods, contrary to popular belief, are an abundant and viable group in the southern hemisphere faunas. Most brachiopods in the Ross Sea appear to have definite niches and habitats but may overlap geographically where population densities are low. Brachiopods here can be divided roughly into a slope and a shelf assemblage. The greatest species diversity occurs at the seaward edge of the Ross Sea shelf, interpreted as an ecotone effect where two different water types meet. Only South America and Antarctica appear to have or have had direct communication between some elements of their brachiopod faunas. Other similarities between separate southern continents are related to retention of common pre-Cenozoic elements or to chance dispersal of larvae across barriers. Events related to cooling during the late Pliocene or Pleistocene caused reduction of puncta density, shell thickness, and spiculation in the Recent fauna and apparently influenced the present species structure, at least in Liothyrella uva, Gyrothyris mawsoni, and Macandrevia.
