Seabirds are marine animals. A great deal is known about their ecology, yet paradoxically almost all this information has been collected at the birds’ breeding sites on land (see, e.g., Bédard, 1969; Belopol’skii, 1961; Cramp et al., 1974; Fisher,...
The beluga whale is at home in cold Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. Beluga Whales are found in the Northern Hemisphere, from the west coast of Greenland to Svalbard in Norway. The cold, Arctic coastal waters are their main habitat. Resident populations are also found in the Cook Inlet and i...
While the 10 most abundant dolphin rectum-associated PS-OTUs accounted for 81.1% of the dolphin rectum reads, their relative abundance in seawater collected next to these animals was only 0.05% (Supplementary Data 3). Figure 3: Habitat-specificity of bacterial groups found in this study. (a) ...

In Icelandic waters, the Leatherback Sea Turtle has both been sighted alive in the ocean and found dead on the beach. However, it is very rare in Icelandic waters as it is too cold there for it to be on regular basis. The turtle, that nests in the Caribbean for example, where the ...
In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report, a systematic review of marine phenology studies suggested that zooplankton timing is moving earlier and responding faster compared to that observed for other marine animals29. For example, in the Subarctic Pacific Ocean, ...
Marine biodiversity plays an important role in providing the ecosystem functions and services which humans derive from the oceans. Understanding how this provisioning will change in the Anthropocene requires knowledge of marine biodiversity patterns. Her
Main display of the Antarctic, Arctic marine animals. In simulated people can watch the white whale, walrus, polar environment in the North Sea Lions, fur seals, sea otters, polar bears, diving birds, penguins and other rare animals of the polar regions. ...
Anthropogenic contributions to mercury levels in present-day Arctic animals--a review. Because of concern about the recently increasing levels of biological Hg in some areas of the Arctic, we examined the literature concerning the long-term c... R Dietz,PM Outridge,KA Hobson - 《Science of the...
To accomplish its far-reaching agenda, the Census had to be global in nature, encompass all ocean realms from top to bottom, from the tropics to the poles, and include all ocean animals from microbes to whales. Three years of discussion and dozens of planning meetings preceded the first expe...
