2. Australian research on Antarctic bird and seal diets

   Abstract:  Many data on the diets of important vertebrate predator species in Prydz Bay and around ... , Euphausia superba forms a rather low proportion of the diet of most vertebrate predators. Euphausia ... crystallorophias and the fish Pleuragramma antarcticum are important in most diets, and many predators can switch ... between prey species. The use of these predators to monitor the state of prey populations is thus very ...

7. Sources of variability associated with Adélie penguin CEMP parameters measured at Béchervaise Island, East Antarctica

   Abstract:  We examine the magnitude of a variety of sources of variability associated with CEMP ... parameters. The CEMP parameters considered in this paper include: A3: breeding population size, A1: arrival ... parameters at around 5-7% CV. The smallest source of variability was associated with measurement error ... although this source of variability is difficult to assess. The largest source of variability was related ...
