• The Role of Mesoscale Eddies in the Rectification of the Southern Ocean Response to Climate Change (2010, background): “The interplay between the physical and biogeochemical systems could be shifting to a different equilibrium, as Southern Ocean temperatures, winds, and carbon uptake seem to be changing as a result of anthropogenic global warming (Gille 2002; Fyfe and Saenko 2006; Le Quéré et al. 2007).”
• Likely responses of the Antarctic benthos to climate-related changes in physical disturbance during the 21st century, based primarily on evidence from the West Antarctic Peninsula region. (2008, background): “the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (Gille 2002) and the Weddell Sea (Robertson et al.”
• Calcification morphotypes of the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi in the Southern Ocean: changes in 2001 to 2006 compared to historical data (2007, background): “This is unlikely to be due to the approxi- mate 0.1°C warming of the bulk ocean (Gille 2002), but may reflect enhanced surface warming or changes in zooplankton grazing populations (Atkinson et al. 2004, Hosie 2004) as a result of substantial 51 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 348: 47–54, 2007 retreat of the sea…”
• Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill (2008, background): “…decline in krill within the SW Atlantic sector is accompanied by a regional increase in water temperature (Meredith & King 2005) and decrease in sea ice (Parkinson 2002) and follows larger-scale and longerterm changes (de la Mare 1997, Gille 2002, Cotté & Guinette 2007, Whitehouse et al. in press).”
• Hyperoxia alleviates thermal stress in the Antarctic bivalve, Laternula elliptica: evidence for oxygen limited thermal tolerance (2006, background): “In summary, oxygen-limited thermal tolerance windows are very narrow in Antarctic invertebrate species and reflect their high sensitivity to current and, possibly, future warming scenarios in Antarctic waters (Gille 2002).”
• An overview of Southern Ocean zooplankton data: abundance, biomass, feeding and functional relationships (2012, background): “including a large-scale reduction in sea-ice in the middle decades of last century (de la Mare, 1997; Cotté and Guinet, 2007), a wide-scale increase in water temperature (Gille, 2002; Meredith and King, 2005; Whitehouse et al., 2008) and possible changes in higher or lower levels within the food web”
• The distribution of South American galaxiid fishes: the role of biological traits and post‐glacial history (2004, background): “This probably occurs at a greater speed than ever before and with different effects all over the world (IAI, 1994), faster in southern high latitudes, for the last 50 years (Gille, 2002).”
• Prospects for survival in the Southern Ocean: vulnerability of benthic species to temperature change (2005, background): “Published studies indicate very little change in sea temperature in recent years, although Gille (2002) showed that Antarctic mid-water warmed by 0.17°C between the 1950s and the 1980s.”
• Impact of stratospheric ozone on Southern Hemisphere circulation change: A multimodel assessment (2010, background): “Observational studies have shown that the upper ocean in the southern high latitudes has been freshening over the last 4 decades [ Gille , 2002; Böning et al. , 2008].”
• Distribution, Biomass and Demography of Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba (2016, background): “This increase in the SAM has resulted in poleward heat transport through upwelling of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW), as well as in the southward displacement of fronts within the ACC (Gille 2002).”
• Effects of climate change and fisheries bycatch on Southern Ocean seabirds : a review (2012, positive): “A warming of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current waters by 0.06°C decade−1 at depths of 300 to 1000 m from the 1960s to 2000s, and by 0.09°C decade−1 since the 1980s (Levitus et al. 2000, Gille 2002).”
