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.

  • Aim To identify the broad-scale oceanic migration routes (?marine flyways?) used by multiple pelagic, long-distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data. Location Global. Time Period 1989?2023. Major Taxa Studied Seabirds (Families: Phaethontidae, Hydrobatidae, Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Laridae and Stercorariidae). Methods We collated a comprehensive global tracking dataset that included the migratory routes of 48 pelagic and long-distance migrating seabird species across the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. We grouped individuals that followed similar routes, independent of species or timings of migration, using a dynamic time warping clustering approach. We visualised the routes of each cluster using a line density analysis and used knowledge of seabird spatial ecology to combine the clusters to identify the broad-scale flyways followed by most pelagic migratory seabirds tracked to-date at an ocean-basin scale. Results Six marine flyways were identified across the world's oceans: the Atlantic Ocean Flyway, North Indian Ocean Flyway, East Indian Ocean Flyway, West Pacific Ocean Flyway, Pacific Ocean Flyway and Southern Ocean Flyway. Generally, the flyways were used bidirectionally, and individuals either followed sections of a flyway, a complete flyway, or their movements linked two or more flyways. Transhemispheric figure-of-eight routes in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and a circumnavigation flyway in the Southern Ocean correspond with major wind-driven ocean currents. Main Conclusions The marine flyways identified demonstrate that pelagic seabirds have similar and repeatable migration routes across ocean-basin scales. Our study highlights the need to account for connectivity in seabird conservation and provides a framework for international cooperation.

  • The dive profiles of pursuit-diving marine predators are often used to infer foraging behaviour, including potential indicators of prey consumption. ‘Wiggles’ are undulations in dive profiles that relate to foraging activity in a variety of marine predators. In penguins, wiggles are sometimes used as a proxy for prey consumption (e.g., catch per unit effort, CPUE), but this relationship remains poorly validated and likely varies with diet. We deployed animal-borne video cameras and depth recorders on chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus; n = 37) and identified over 17,000 euphausiid prey captures - mainly Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) - during dives deeper than 3 m (n = 2458 dives). Using the video-observed prey captures as a reference, we tested how well various wiggle metrics derived from 1 Hz depth data predicted krill consumption by the penguins. Wiggle metrics generally showed a positive but noisy and highly variable relationship with the number of krill captured per dive, with association strength varying among metrics. While it is tempting to infer detailed foraging behaviours from dive wiggles (including ‘bottom distance’ generated by the R package diveMove), our results show: (1) notable rates of foraging – non-foraging dive misclassification; (2) only moderate agreement between CPUE estimated from wiggle counts and video observations; and (3) imprecise predictive models of actual prey consumption. While wiggle analyses offer some insight into prey consumption of krill-feeding penguins, our results suggest that alternative methods (e.g., acceleration-based indices) are needed to obtain more robust quantitative estimates of prey consumption.
