Status of pinnipeds on mid-Atlantic ridge islands, South Atlantic Ocean

M. N. Bester

Summary: The status of pinnipeds on mid-Atlantic ridge islands indicates a contraction of their distributional range, with vagrant southern elephant seals no longer recorded in tropical Saint Helena Island and declining populations at Gough Island. Leopard seals and Antarctic fur seals are occasional seasonal transients from Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands to islands such as Gough Island and Tristan da Cunha. Large populations of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic fur seals breed at Bouvetoya and Gough Island, but their current state is uncertain as other populations are declining due to reduced food availability possibly caused by climate change.

Inter- and intrasex habitat partitioning in the highly dimorphic southern elephant seal

Mark A. Hindell et al.

Summary: Partitioning resources is an important strategy for avoiding intraspecific competition in highly sexually dimorphic species like the southern elephant seal, where intersexual and intrasexual differences in habitat use are evident. These differences are likely due to a complex interplay of life history strategies, environmental conditions, and predation pressure.

Ocean warming threatens southern right whale population recovery

Macarena Agrelo et al.

Summary: Whales play a crucial role in supporting the Antarctic krill population and the Southern Ocean ecosystem, but El Nino events can lead to increased mortality rates for southern right whales, potentially hindering their recovery and causing population decline, which in turn may disrupt food-web interactions in the Southern Ocean and weaken its contribution to climate change mitigation on a global scale.

Animal Borne Ocean Sensors - AniBOS - An Essential Component of the Global Ocean Observing System

Clive R. McMahon et al.

Summary: Marine animals equipped with sensors produce long-term data streams on marine environmental variables, filling gaps in under-sampled regions and improving accuracy in ocean state estimation. The AniBOS network complements the Global Ocean Observing System by providing essential marine data and improving climate variability studies.

The call of the emperor penguin: Legal responses to species threatened by climate change

Stephanie Jenouvrier et al.

Summary: The risk of species extinction is accelerating due to anthropogenic climate change, with emperor penguins facing the threat of becoming quasi-extinct by 2100 if current energy system trends and policies continue to lead to a decline in sea ice as projected by climate models. Protective measures under legal frameworks, such as listing the species as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, are urgently needed to mitigate this risk.

Determinants of moult haulout phenology and duration in southern elephant seals

Leandri de Kock et al.

Summary: Phenological shifts in response to environmental change are evident in marine mammals, but rare in Southern Ocean species. The moult behavior of female elephant seals on Marion Island was investigated over 32 years, with age and breeding state found to be major factors influencing moult timing and duration. Environmental factors had minimal impact on moult behavior.

Climate influences on female survival in a declining population of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina)

Sophia Volzke et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of changing environmental conditions in the Southern Ocean on southern elephant seal populations. It found that climate factors affect the survival rates of juvenile and adult seals, with the Southern Annular Mode and Southern Oscillation Index being important influencing factors.
