Deep‐sea food‐web structure at South Sandwich Islands (Southern Ocean): net primary production as a main driver for interannual changes

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.
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,

Digital Preservation as an Albatross [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006

Principle for the “Proximity of Albatross”

open access: yes, 2020
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

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2025.
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 ...

On the Flight of Albatrosses and Gannets [PDF]

open access: yesAeronautical journal (London, England : 1897), 1915
I owe the greater part of the following information about the flight of the albatross to Captain E. H. Gordon, of the P. and O. ss. Company. 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.
