Current status of cystic echinococcosis control in the Falkland Islands: has elimination been achieved? [PDF]
Parasitology, 2023 Attempts to control cystic echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus in the Falkland Islands have been ongoing for over 50 years. No human cases have been recorded since the 1980s but there is a need to establish if the parasite has been ...

Mid-frequency song and low-frequency calls of sei whales in the Falkland Islands [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Although sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis) are distributed throughout the globe, their behaviour and vocal repertoire are poorly described. We used passive acoustic monitoring to describe the vocal behaviour of sei whales in the Falkland Islands ...

SNP analyses and acoustic tagging reveal multiple origins and widespread dispersal of invasive brown trout in the Falkland Islands [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Biological invasions are important causes of biodiversity loss, particularly in remote islands. Brown trout (Salmo trutta) have been widely introduced throughout the Southern Hemisphere, impacting endangered native fauna, particularly galaxiid fishes ...

Intertidal and nearshore Nereididae (Annelida) of the Falkland Islands, southwestern Atlantic, including a new species of Gymnonereis [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 The intertidal and nearshore Nereididae of the Falkland Islands are detailed and a new species of Gymnonereis described. The new species, Gymnonereis tenera sp. n., is the first record of the genus for the Falkland Islands. It is, so far, only known from

Gene flow and hybridization between numerically imbalanced populations of two duck species in the Falkland Islands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Interspecific hybridization is common in plants and animals, particularly in waterfowl (Anatidae). One factor shown to contribute to hybridization is restricted mate choice, which can occur when two species occur in sympatry but one is rare.

Deep-Sea Epibenthic Megafaunal Assemblages of the Falkland Islands, Southwest Atlantic
Diversity, 2022 Deep-sea environments face increasing pressure from anthropogenic exploitation and climate change, but remain poorly studied. Hence, there is an urgent need to compile quantitative baseline data on faunal assemblages, and improve our understanding of the
