Experimental determination of reflectance spectra of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the Scotia Sea [PDF]
Antarctic krill are the dominant metazoan in the Southern Ocean in terms of biomass; however, their wide and patchy distribution means that estimates of their biomass are still uncertain.

Seabed foraging by Antarctic krill: Implications for stock assessment, bentho-pelagic coupling, and the vertical transfer of iron [PDF]
A compilation of more than 30 studies shows that adult Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) may frequent benthic habitats year-round, in shelf as well as oceanic waters and throughout their circumpolar range. Net and acoustic data from the Scotia Sea show

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Musculoskeletal (Mal)adaptations in Response to a > 30 000‐km Running Challenge
ABSTRACT Background Ultra‐endurance sports are increasingly popular, yet the long‐term physiological consequences of sustained extreme training loads remain poorly understood. In particular, the effects of prolonged ultra‐endurance exercise on skeletal muscle structure, function and molecular remodelling are largely unknown.
