    • Distribution and Habitat Suitability of Ross Seals in a Warming Ocean 

      Wege, Mia; Bornemann, Horst; Blix, Arnoldus S; Nordøy, Erling Sverre; Biddle, Louise; Bester, Marthán N. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-13)
      Understanding the determinants of poorly studied species’ spatial ecology is fundamental to understanding climate change impacts on those species and how to effectively prioritise their conservation. Ross seals (Ommatophoca rossii) are the least studied of the Antarctic pinnipeds with a limited knowledge of their spatial ecology. We present the largest tracking study for this species to date, create ...

    • The genetic legacy of extreme exploitation in a polar vertebrate 

      Paijmans, Anneke; Stoffel, Martin A.; Bester, Marthán N.; Cleary, Alison Clare; de Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Forcada, Jaume; Goebel, M; Goldsworthy, S.D.; Guinet, Christophe; Lydersen, Christian; Kovacs, Kit M.; Lowther, Andrew; Hoffman, Joseph I. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-20)
      Understanding the effects of human exploitation on the genetic composition of wild populations is important for predicting species persistence and adaptive potential. We therefore investigated the genetic legacy of large-scale commercial harvesting by reconstructing, on a global scale, the recent demographic history of the Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella), a species that was hunted to the ...
