The flow of the Antarctic circumpolar current over the North Scotia Ridge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The transports associated with the Subantarctic Front (SAF) and the Polar Front (PF) account for the majority of the volume transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC).

Two lenses for exploring relationships between seabirds and fishers: Unveiling reciprocal contributions

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Reciprocal relationships between fishers and marine life have been documented in Indigenous fishing contexts, but there are few case studies that describe the mechanisms of such relationships, and even fewer that explore other contexts, such as that of artisanal fishers in Latin American countries.

Young parents produce offspring with short telomeres: A study in a long-lived bird, the Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys)

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
In wild vertebrates, young parents are less likely to successfully rear offspring relative to older ones because of lower parental skills (‘the constraint hypothesis’), lower parental investment (‘the restraint hypothesis’) or because of a progressive ...

Geographic range size and evolutionary age in birds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Together with patterns of speciation and extinction, post-speciation transformations in the range sizes of individual species determine the form of contemporary species-range-size distributions.

Introduction: Governing from the Centre‐Left in the 2020s

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract The UK Labour Party's return to power in 2024 followed a wave of victories by its centre‐left counterparts in the period during and after the Covid pandemic. From the perspective of 2025, however, the ‘progressive moment’ of the early 2020s looks short‐lived, as the political pendulum has swung rightwards in the United States and elsewhere ...

Analyzing and Mimicking the Optimized Flight Physics of Soaring Birds: A Differential Geometric Control and Extremum Seeking System Approach with Real Time Implementation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
For centuries, soaring birds -- such as albatrosses and eagles -- have been mysterious and intriguing for biologists, physicists, aeronautical/control engineers, and applied mathematicians. These fascinating biological organisms have the ability to fly for long-duration while spending little to no energy.

THE COSMOPOLITICS OF CATS AND WILDLIFE ON CAPE TOWN'S URBAN EDGE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Free‐ranging cats are widely tolerated in cities, and animal welfare organizations increasingly allow for ‘trap, neuter and release’ (TNR) of unowned cats. We show, using the example of a university campus adjacent to a national park in a large metropole, that this has implications for cosmopolitics over biodiversity on the urban edge.

ALBATROSS cruise report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This proposal seeks support for a study of the influence of the Scotia Sea on global ocean circulation. During a 35 day research cruise using RRS James Clark Ross, we shall undertake a high quality hydrographic and tracer survey of the southwest Atlantic
