• Feeding and overwintering of Antarctic krill across its major habitats: The role of sea ice cover, water depth, and phytoplankton abundance (2014, background): “Interestingly, the average amplitude of krill vertical migrations is much larger in winter compared with other seasons (Siegel 2005) and leads krill to potential feeding grounds under the ice (Flores et al. 2012) and at the seabed (Kawaguchi et al. 1986).”
• Overwinter habitat selection by Antarctic krill under varying sea-ice conditions: implications for top predators and fishery management (2017, background): “6) Reiss et al.: Overwinter krill habitat selection retained (Siegel 2005).”
• The overwintering of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, from an ecophysiological perspective (2011, background): “Until end of the 1990s, although most studies on krill larvae during winter had mainly focused on their distribution and abundance (e.g. Hempel 1985; Daly and Macaulay 1991; Siegel 2005), several studies in the early 1990s investigated the physiological condition of larval krill in winter.”
• Long-term (1993-2013) changes in macrozooplankton off the Western Antarctic Peninsula (2015, background): “…indicates a significant linear relationship (Tomopteris spp., North, p¼ 0.01, r 2 ¼ 0.30). minimizes mismatches between krill and their food caused by environmental variability (Fraser and Hofmann, 2003) and allows the population to thrive with only 2 good recruitment years out of 5 (Siegel, 2005).”
• Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill (2008, methodology): “…have been proposed, including sea ice (Mackintosh 1973, Brierley et al. 2002), gyres (Marr 1962, Pakhomov 2000, Nicol 2006), fronts (Spiridonov 1996, Witek et al. 1988, Tynan 1998), shelf edges (Siegel 2005, Nicol 2006) and high food concentrations (Constable et al. 2003, Atkinson et al. 2004).”
• Spatial association between hotspots of baleen whales and demographic patterns of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba suggests size-dependent predation (2010, unknown): “Near the South Shetland Islands during summer, length-maturity classes of Antarctic krill exhibit different spatial distribution patterns (Siegel 1988, 2005, Hewitt & Demer 1993, Siegel & Loeb 1995).”
• Developing integrated models of Southern Ocean food webs: Including ecological complexity, accounting for uncertainty and the importance of scale (2012, unknown): “…2007) and Ross Sea (Smith et al., 2007) differ in the extent to which they are dominated by Antarctic krill versus other zooplankton such as copepods and ice-krill (Euphausia crystallorophias) (Siegel, 2005; Murphy et al., 2007b; Smith et al., 2007; Atkinson et al., 2008; Pinkerton et al., 2010).”
• Seabed foraging by Antarctic krill: Implications for stock assessment, bentho‐pelagic coupling, and the vertical transfer of iron (2011, background): “The current biomass of Antarctic krill is 100–500 million tonnes (Siegel 2005; Atkinson et al. 2009).”
• Physiology, growth, and development of larval krill Euphausia superba in autumn and winter in the Lazarev Sea, Antarctica (2009, background): “Therefore, recruitment success depends both on how potential recruits enter winter (reflecting reproductive output and growth and survivorship of larvae during summer and autumn) and on larval growth and survival during their first winter (Siegel 2005; Quetin et al. 2007).”
• Paradigm lost, or is top-down forcing no longer significant in the Antarctic marine ecosystem? (2007, background): “…of acceptance of what became the new central paradigm - bottom-up forcing by physics and climate change as the single most important ecosystem driver - and it is within this that the majority of researchers now interpret their data (see summaries in Croxall et al. 2002, Siegel 2005, Nicol 2005).”
• An overview of Southern Ocean zooplankton data: abundance, biomass, feeding and functional relationships (2012, background): “Euphausia superba has been reviewed recently (Siegel, 2005; Nicol, 2006; Atkinson et al., 2008) and is included here for comparison.”
• Distribution, Biomass and Demography of Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba (2016, background): “Three alternative scenarios for the dispersion of krill stocks in the Scotia Sea have been discussed in the past (Siegel 2005)”
• The Importance of Krill Predation in the Southern Ocean (2016, background): “8 106 larvae m-2 were recorded during 1981 (Siegel 2005).”
• Past and present distribution, densities and movements of blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in the Southern Hemisphere and northern Indian Ocean (2007, background): “Antarctic krill presence is not associated with any one oceanographic feature, but is determined by the presence of abundant phytoplankton near ice edges, continental shelves and dynamic frontal regions (Atkinson et al., 2004; Siegel, 2005).”
