My Days on the Albatross [PDF]
Navigation and surveying formed a connecting link, as it were, between what was getting to be called the “Old Navy” and what was soon to take shape as a “New Navy.” Seamanship, as an art of special character, was beginning to change its form with the ...

Food‐webs are a major component of ecosystems and determinant for their functioning and structure. The food chain length (FCL) is a key feature of food‐webs and it is crucial for the resistance of the community to external stressors. The Southern Ocean (SO) food‐web is known for being short and dominated by an Antarctic krill Euphausia superba surplus,

Principle for the “Proximity of Albatross”
Physical science means ‘to know the laws of nature’ and theoretical physics aims to get inside the deepest fathom of the universe to solve her mystery. Mother Nature doesn’t like getting investigated and therefore imposes restrictions in the specific domains so that her child, humans can’t explore her mysteries freely.

Towards an Abundance Estimate for New Zealand Fur Seal in New Zealand
ABSTRACT A lack of population abundance and trajectory data is a conservation and management issue relevant to numerous pinniped species, many of which are exposed to a variety of threats. New Zealand fur seal (Arctocephalus forsteri; ‘NZFS’) populations in different parts of New Zealand have experienced both substantial increases and decreases to ...

He has studied these birds during numerous voyages, both on steamers and sailing ships. He has seen them near Cape Horn, the Cape, off the south coast of Australia, and at many other places.
