The winter movements of Weddell seals in the sea ice zone of eastern Antarctica ...
Winter sea ice plays a major role in the Antarctic ecosystem due to its influence on the abundance and recruitment of keystone species and the secondary production associated with the ice edge on which many Antarctic predators rely. For one of these predators, the Weddell seal, long term data sets i...

Winter sea ice plays a major role in the Antarctic ecosystem due to its influence on the abundance and recruitment of keystone species and the secondary production associated with the ice edge on which many Antarctic predators rely.
