CS-PHOC: weekly census counts of Southern Ocean phocids at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island
Abstract Rapid climatic warming of the Antarctic Peninsula is driving regional population declines and distribution shifts of predators and prey. Affected species include Antarctic ice seals and the southern elephant seal, all of which rely on the peninsula region for critical stages of their life c...
