Long-term (1993-2013) changes in macrozooplankton off the Western Antarctic Peninsula (2015, background): “In the far northern WAP (tip of Peninsula to Anvers Island), the increase in winds and clouds, juxtaposed on a longer open water season has led to deeper mixed layers and more variable light conditions, resulting in decreased phytoplankton (chlorophyll a) biomass (Montes-Hugo et al., 2009) and shift”
Response of Antarctic, temperate, and tropical microalgae to temperature stress (2013, background): “The summertime levels of phytoplankton have decreased by 12 % over the past 30 years off the western Antarctic Peninsula, along with the population of the krilleating Adelie penguin (Montes-Hugo et al. 2009).”
Spatial ecology and conservation of seabirds facing global climate change: a review (2009, neutral): “However , decreasing ice cover changes the seasonality and extent of the marginal ice zone and its phytoplankton bloom, which, in turn, can have significant effects on regional productivity/carbon budgets and food web structure (Stabeno et al. 2005, Montes-Hugo et al. 2009).”
Synergistic effects of iron and temperature on Antarctic phytoplankton and microzooplankton assemblages (2009, background): “If so, these changes in seasonal ice dynamics and accompanying increased stratification effects will lead to major changes in mixing regimes, nutrient supplies, and light environments experienced by Antarctic phytoplankton (Boyd and Doney, 2002; Montes-Hugo et al., 2009).”
Carbon fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics near two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach (2013, background): “We chose to separate the north and south colonies, which are experiencing different trends for both Adélie penguins and primary production (Moline et al. 2008, Montes-Hugo et al. 2009).”
Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. (2012, background): “Time-series satellite ocean color records for the northern regions of the WAP indicate that phytoplankton stocks have declined by over 80%, owing to sea-ice loss reducing the meltwater-induced water-column stratification that is necessary for plant growth (Montes-Hugo et al. 2009).”
Dynamics of phytoplankton communities during late summer around the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula (2012, background): “Moreover, recent studies have shown that changes in phytoplankton biomass and composition along the western shelf of the AP are associated with regional long-term climate alterations (Montes-Hugo et al., 2009). ll rights reserved.”
The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people (2016, background): “These conflicting observations in the Antarctic are in part linked to changes in sea surface temperature but also changes in ice cover, cloudiness, and windiness, which effect watercolumn mixing (121).”
The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “The nearshore contrast between current high rates of primary production in the south and lower production rates in the north was not as evident in an earlier (1995–2006) period when production tended to be higher in the north than the recent mean condition (Montes-Hugo et al. 2009).”
Time series of vertical flux of zooplankton fecal pellets on the continental shelf of the western Antarctic Peninsula (2012, background): “The krill populations that characterize the major zooplankton composition of the Antarctic rely heavily on winter sea-ice for both summer phytoplankton blooms and winter larval recruitment (Quetin and Ross, 2001; Atkinson et al., 2004; Montes-Hugo et al., 2009; Montes-Hugo et al, 2010).”
Environmental control of open‐ocean phytoplankton groups: Now and in the future (2010, background): “…diatoms investigated so far have CCMs; Tortell et al. 2008a) or nutrients (these HNLC waters have excess nutrients) probably include warming and stratification (Moline et al. 2004; Montes-Hugo et al. 2009), decreased Fe supply, and increased mean irradiances (Doney 2006; R. F. Strzepek unpubl.).”
