5. Influence of krill availability on humpback whale breeding success

   Abstract:  The abundance of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has been declining in the ... western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), probably as a consequence of the effects of the considerable increase ... in the sea surface temperature observed in the region. Thus, the performance (reproduction and ... survival) of the krill consumers may be compromised. In the present study, we investigated the reproductive ...
