• Comparison of diving behavior and foraging habitat use between chinstrap and gentoo penguins breeding in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica (2010, background): “Clearly, a more comprehensive, long-term study into foraging behavior and breeding success of penguins together with fine-scale oceanographic survey is required to establish the links between foraging ecology and population trends of penguins in Antarctic Peninsula, under the effect of climate chang”
• Carbon fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics near two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach (2013, background): “…prey quality could also explain why the Adélie chicks are not reaching an appropriate fledgling weight in the North WAP compared to the South WAP (Fraser & Hofmann 2003, Chapman et al. 2010), with the possibility that food limitation is occurring at the chick stage, not the adult stage, as…”
• Paradigm lost, or is top-down forcing no longer significant in the Antarctic marine ecosystem? (2007, background): “…with decreased sea ice extent during the 1960s–early 1970s; many other statistically significant correlations also have been shown to relate species’ trends with sea ice at varying temporal scales (e.g. Loeb et al. 1997, Fraser & Hofmann 2003, Jenouvrier et al. 2005, Forcada et al. 2006).”
• Life history buffering in Antarctic mammals and birds against changing patterns of climate and environmental variation (2008, background): “…sector of the Southern Ocean, where it is altering regional food webs (Loeb et al., 1997; Atkinson et al., 2004; Moline et al., 2004; Smith et al., 2007), ultimately affecting upper trophic level species (Croxall et al., 2002; Fraser & Hofmann, 2003; Forcada et al., 2006; Hinke et al., 2007).”
• Diet and reproductive success of Adélie and chinstrap penguins: linking response of predators to prey population dynamics (2004, unknown): “…long-term krill population data obtained using scientific nets at Elephant Island (60.02 S 45.90 W) (Loeb et al. 2001) and from predator diets (Fraser and Hofmann 2003; Osman et al. 2004) indicate that following extremely high recruitment in 1996, there had been little or no evidence of…”
• Penguin responses to climate change in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “…changes concurrent with sea-ice retreat/advance have been observed for more than a decade in the Antarctic Peninsula region (Fraser et al., 1992; Fraser & Hofmann, 2003), the southern Scotia Sea (Trathan et al., 1996; Forcada et al., 2006), Ross Sea (Ainley, 2002; Ainley et al., 2005) and…”
• Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill (2008, background): “Near islands with breeding predator colonies, predation is especially intense (Croxall et al. 1984, Fraser & Hofmann 2003).”
• Interannual variability in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) density at South Georgia, Southern Ocean: 1997–2013 (2014, background): “To accommodate this, higher predators may have to forage for longer periods (Fraser and Hofmann, 2003), or prey switch (Croxall et al., 1999).”
• The Disappearing Cryosphere: Impacts and Ecosystem Responses to Rapid Cryosphere Loss (2012, background): “Fraser and Hofmann (2003) demonstrated that penguin chicks weighing less than 300 grams at fledging had a reduced probability of surviving past the first year.”
• Marine pelagic ecosystems: the West Antarctic Peninsula (2007, methodology): “Research in the PALLTER (Martinson et al. in press) and throughout the Southern Ocean (Orsi et al. 1995) show that the climatological southern edge or boundary of the ACC (SBACC, defined in Orsi et al. 1995 as the southern limit of Upper CDW (UCDW) characteristics) lies along the continental shelf b”
• Long-term (1993-2013) changes in macrozooplankton off the Western Antarctic Peninsula (2015, background): “These strong recruitment years coincide with several environmental factors: a 4–5 year cycle of high winter sea ice extent (Fraser and Hofmann, 2003), neutral or moderate periods of ENSO creating good ice conditions for reproduction in summer and larval survival in winter (Quetin and Ross, 2003;…”
