Database with number of individuals and distribution of the southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) of Pen?nsula Vald?s, Argentina,breeding colony. Censuses on foot of the entire colony were carried out during the peak of the breeding season (October 3-7) when most of the population is ashore. All the breeding groups were counted and located. Demographic data also encompass reports of solitary

Database containing unpublished information about the position of south Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena australis) in the Bah?a Nueva (located between 42? 41' 55" S - 64? 59' 38" W and 42? 47' 08" S - 64 ? 57' 25" W), Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina. Position of individuals in the bay were recorded by terrestrial triangulation method during August and November of 2003-2005. Samples recorded numb

Updated distribution of sixteen species of seabirds along the Patagonian coast. Number of breeding pairs at colonies of penguins, cormorants, gulls and terns were evaluated by aerial, boat and ground surveys carried out between 1993-1995 during the implementation of the Patagonian Coastal Zone Management Plan (Fundaci?n Patagonia Natural and Wildlife conservation Society - GEF-UNDP).

Weekly point count surveys were conducted at nineteen points along four routes near Toolik Field Station from late May to late July in 2011 using the methods described by the Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey. At each point, an observer stood for ten minutes and recorded each individual bird detected, method of detection, and radial distance to the bird.

Database containing published information from scientific papers and reports of whales, dolphins and porpoises in the Atlantic Ocean, Magellanic region and South Pacific Ocean. Peripheral records from farther offshore include reported sightings in Malvinas/Falkland Islands, Drake Passage and the South Shetland islands.

The Kerguelen Axis voyage was planned to collect data to enhance the realism of end-to-end ecosystem models being developed in the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre, to investigate the effects of climate change and ocean acidification on Southern Ocean ecosystems in the Indian Sector (particularly in relation to factors affecting the northern distribution of Antarctic kr

Information about adults and chicks little auks diet during different seasons of their year cycle. Data were obtained from direct (diet samples analyses) and indirect (stable isotope analysis) methods. Data were collected since 2005 in East Greenland and in 2007 in Spitsbergen. Information about adult little auks diving behaviour recorded during their breeding (2006 and 2008) and their inter-breed

Seabirds are generally long-lived, and therefore life-history theory predicts personal survival will be prioritised over their current reproductive attempt. An understanding of how Little Auks balance reproduction and self-maintenance under variable environmental conditions is critical to the population modelling of this species, as variability in adult survival and fecundity will influence rates

A long-term bird monitoring program was established at the Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska in 2008. We conduct weekly avian point-count surveys near the field station during the breeding season (late May to late July). We use the protocol developed by the Alaska Landbird Monitoring Survey to detect bird species by sound and sight and estimate the radial distance to the birds at nineteen po

This project investigates the interaction between Arctic-breeding migratory waterfowl and avian influenza viruses. We have used RT-PCR targeting the matrix gene of the influenza virus to detect current infection from cloacal and/or tracheal samples from wild waterfowl, as well as blocking ELISAs on the sera of these waterfowl to detect antibodies to the nucleoprotein gene segment of the influenza

ENGLISH The goal of this Project is to increase the paleobotanical, palynological and biostratigraphic information of the Cretaceous and Paleogene in selected areas of Southern Patagonia, integrating the data obtained for the purpose of contributing to the knowledge on the main evolutionary events of the southern floras. The Austral Basin was developed in the region, during the Cretaceous and Pale
