  Title Stability of the East Antarctic station Dumont d’Urville from long-term geodetic observations and geophysical model Type Journal Article
  Year 2009 Publication Polar research Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 28 Issue 2 Pages 193 - 202  
  Keywords Absolute gravity, Antarctica, DORIS, Dumont d'Urville, GPS, tide gauge  
  Abstract Geodetic measurements of the vertical crustal displacement collocated with absolute gravity changes provide a discriminatory measurement of present-day glacial changes, versus more deeply seated rock motions caused by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA). At the East Antarctic station of Dumont d'Urville, we compare the displacements derived from continuous DORIS (1993.0–2006.0) and Global Positioning System (GPS) (1999.0–2005.7) data, and observed changes in absolute gravity (2000–2006), with the predicted vertical displacement and change in gravity from GIA modelling. The geodetic results have mutual self-consistency, suggest station stability and provide upper bounds on both GIA and secular ice mass changes. The GIA models tend to predict amplitudes of rock motion larger than those observed, and we conclude that this part of Antarctica is probably experiencing a slight gain in ice mass, in contrast to West Antarctica.

  Title Climate change and the ecology and evolution of Arctic vertebrates Type Book Chapter
  Year 2012 Publication Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Abbreviated Journal Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci.  
  Volume 1249 Issue 1 Pages 166-190  
  Keywords impacts, phenological changes, plasticity, range shifts, adaptations, threat, trophic interactions, mismatches, sea ice, tundra, parasites, geese, shorebirds, rodents, lemmings, large herbivores, seabirds, marine mammals, polar bear,  
  Abstract Climate change is taking place more rapidly and severely in the Arctic than anywhere on the globe, exposing Arctic vertebrates to a host of impacts. Changes in the cryosphere dominate the physical changes that already affect these animals, but increasing air temperatures, changes in precipitation, and ocean acidification will also affect Arctic ecosystems in the future. Adaptation via natural selection is problematic in such a rapidly changing environment. Adjustment via phenotypic plasticity is therefore likely to dominate Arctic vertebrate responses in the short term, and many such adjustments have already been documented. Changes in phenology and range will occur for most species but will only partly mitigate climate change impacts, which are particularly difficult to forecast due to the many interactions within and between trophic levels. Even though Arctic species richness is increasing via immigration from the South, many Arctic vertebrates are expected to become increasingly threatened during this century.

  Title Continuous 25-yr aerosol records at coastal Antarctica I: inter-annual variability of ionic compounds and links to climate indices Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Tellus B Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The aerosol climatology at the coastal Antarctic Neumayer Station (NM) was investigated based on continuous, 25-yr long observations of biogenic sulphur components (methanesulfonate and nonsea salt sulphate), sea salt and nitrate. Although significant long-term trends could only be detected for nitrate (3.6 ± 2.5% per year between 1983 and 1993 and +4.0 ± 3.2% per year from 19932007), non-harmonic periodicities between 2 and 5 yr were typical for all species. Dedicated time series analyses revealed that relations to sea ice extent and various circulation indices are weak at best or not significant. In particular, no consistent link between sea ice extent and sea salt loadings was evident suggesting only a rather local relevance of the NM sea salt record. Nevertheless, a higher Southern Annular Mode index tended to entail a lower biogenic sulphur signal. In examining the spatial uniformity of the NM findings we contrasted them to respective 17 yr records from the coastal Dumont dUrville Station. We found similar long-term trends for nitrate, indicating an Antarctic-wide but not identifiable atmospheric signal, although any significant impact of solar activity or pollution could be ruled out. No inter-site variability on the multiannual scale was evident for the other ionic compounds.

  Abstract Morat F, Betoulle S, Robert M, Thailly AF, Biagianti-Risbourg S, Lecomte-Finiger R. What can otolith examination tell us about the level of perturbations of Salmonid fish from the Kerguelen Islands? Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2008: 17: 6172013627. © 2008 The Authors. Journal Compilation © 2008 Blackwell MunksgaardAbstract 2013  Otoliths preserve a continuous record of the life cycle from the natal through the adult stage. For that reason, the morphological and chemical characteristics of otoliths of two nonnative Salmonids, brown trout (Salmo trutta) and brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) from populations on the Kerguelen Islands were compared. Several approaches were used to study the relationships between otolith morphometry, crystal morph and chemical elemental composition. These salmonids sampled in Kerguelen are well differentiated in terms of species through their otolith shape. The results indicate that ecotypes and river populations can be reasonably well differentiated on the basis of otolith shape. The crystallisation study has revealed the presence of a particular form: the vaterite, present at a high rate: 45% of S. fontinalis and 18% from Salmo trutta fario. Moreover, vaterite and aragonite otoliths presented differences in chemical composition.

  Title The relationship between sea surface temperature and population change of Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo breeding near Disko Bay, Greenland Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Ibis Abbreviated Journal Ibis (Lond. 1859)  
  Volume 153 Issue 1 Pages 170 -174  
  Keywords Arctic warming, climate change, diving, Phalacrocorax, thermoregulation, vision,  
  Abstract Arctic seas have warmed and sea ice has retreated. This has resulted in range contraction and population declines in some species, but it could potentially be a boon for others. Great Cormorants Phalacrocorax carbo have a partially wettable plumage and seem poorly suited to foraging in Arctic waters. We show that rates of population change of Cormorant colonies around Disko Bay, Greenland, are positively correlated with sea surface temperature, suggesting that they may benefit from a warming Arctic. However, although Cormorant populations may increase in response to Arctic warming, the extent of expansion of their winter range may ultimately be limited by other factors, such as sensory constraints on foraging behaviour during long Arctic nights.

  Title One House Two Families: Petrel Squatters Get a Sniff of Low-Cost Breeding Opportunities Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Ethology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 116 Issue 2 Pages 176 -182  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Summary Burrowing is a widespread nesting behaviour, found in vertebrates and invertebrates. It is particularly common in small procellariiform seabirds such as blue petrels (Halobaena caerulea) and Antarctic prions (Pachyptila desolata), two closely related petrel species. However, digging a burrow is costly and alternative strategies may evolve. Accordingly, blue petrel males can adopt two alternative nesting strategies: digging a new burrow or squatting in an empty one. Importantly, a blue petrel squatter arriving at the colony to breed is more likely to find empty Antarctic prion burrows than empty blue petrel burrows, since the former species only start breeding a month later. However, squatting in a prions burrow is risky for blue petrels as the legitimate owner very often returns and claims the burrow back, thus ruining the squatters breeding attempt. We present here results of a survey of two sympatric colonies of blue petrels and Antarctic prions on Kerguelen Island. Our data show that blue petrel squatters preferentially occupy blue petrel empty burrows. To investigate potential underlying mechanisms behind this preference, we used a simple Y-maze design to show that blue petrels can discriminate and prefer their specific odour over the prion odour. Our results confirm the existence of alternative burrowing strategies in blue petrels and suggest that squatters could use olfaction to avoid the less suitable Antarctic prion burrows.

  Title Comparison of color and body condition between early and late breeding king penguins Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Ethology Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 114 Issue Pages 925-933  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Early breeding is associated with greater reproductive success in many species. In king penguins, Aptenodytes patagonicus, laying extends for 6 mo. Early breeders may fledge a single chick at best, but late breeders virtually never fledge a chick. For early and late breeders, we compared colored ornaments known to be important in mate choice: yellow– orange feathers of the breast and auricular areas, and an ultraviolet and yellow–orange beak spot. Our purpose was to discern differences between males and females in this highly sexually monomorphic species, as well as to discern whether colored ornaments are more important for the more successful early breeders (aspects of color were hue, chroma, and brightness). For this, we weighed and measured 130 penguins. Early males had greater reflectance of ultraviolet color from the beak spot than did early females and late breeders of both sexes, and the early males were heavier and in better condition than late breeding males or females. Late breeding females were the yellowest in breast hue, a trait that has been linked to immunocompetence. Within pairs, males and females were significantly correlated in body mass, but only early in the breeding season. We concluded that early in the breeding season when reproductive success was greatest, potential mates were not only more similar in body mass, but also that females may have chosen males that had brighter beak spots and were in better body condition.
