Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.
Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.
Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.
Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.
Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.
Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.
Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

Understanding how marine predators structure and adjust their foraging in response to prey field characteristics is a longstanding objective in marine ecology. This is particularly challenging in Southern Ocean ecosystems, where logistical and financial constraints hinder assessment of predator foraging and prey field information at relevant spatial and temporal scales. Here, we examine how Adélie penguins, Pygoscelis adeliae, a key Southern Ocean indicator species, perform and organize their foraging behaviour during two contrasting years of krill (Euphausia superba) abundance. Using multiyear krill acoustic data from King George Island in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), we assess broad seasonal conditions in krill availability. We also analyse a suite of penguin biologging data (spatial location, dive and accelerometry-derived activities) during the same period to identify broad behavioural differences in their bout-diving activity, a classical measure of the temporal organization of foraging in diving predators. During years of high krill abundance and availability, penguins performed shorter dive bouts (consisting of shallower and shorter-duration dives), which were more concentrated in time and space. Despite these differences in bout structure, prey capture attempts occurred at the same rate within bouts. These findings challenge traditional interpretations assuming that increased bout durations (and related proxies of prey capture effort) signal increased krill patch abundance and profitability. Although additional data are required to understand the full scope of penguin bout diving and krill prey field associations, our work improves understanding of penguin behavioural variation and provides insights into how foraging behaviours could potentially be used to interpret krill availability at predator- and management-relevant scales.

Antarctic and Southern Ocean environments are facing increasing pressure from multiple threats. The Antarctic Treaty System regularly looks to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) for the provision of independent and objective advice based on the best available science to support decision-making, policy development and effective environmental management. The recently approved SCAR Scientific Research Programme Ant-ICON - ‘Integrated Science to Inform Antarctic and Southern Ocean Conservation‘ - facilitates and coordinates high-quality transdisciplinary research to inform the conservation and management of Antarctica, the Southern Ocean and the sub-Antarctic in the context of current and future impacts. The work of Ant-ICON focuses on three research themes examining 1) the current state and future projections of Antarctic systems, species and functions, 2) human impacts and sustainability and 3) socio-ecological approaches to Antarctic and Southern Ocean conservation, and one synthesis theme that seeks to facilitate the provision of timely scientific advice to support effective Antarctic conservation. Research outputs will address the most pressing environmental challenges facing Antarctica and offer high-quality science to policy and advisory bodies including the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, the Committee for Environmental Protection and the Scientific Committee of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
