- Description
- Many Antarctic animals, including penguins, seals and whales, are dependent upon krill for food. Krill swarms can be deep or shallow, dense of diffuse but how the forms are distributed in time and space is poorly known. By mapping the distribution of blue whales and krill we will determine whether krill predators target particular forms of krill and if such forms are common. We will also assess whether whales fertilise the ocean through their nutrient-rich faeces. These whale-krill relationships and the role of whales in maintaining the ecosystem health will inform the management of expanding Antarctic krill fisheries.

- Description
- From the albatross of Coleridge's ancient mariner to the blockbuster Happy Feet, Antarctic animals have played an important symbolic role in Western culture. Through analysis of written and visual texts, this project examines the meanings and values we attach to animals - native and introduced - in the world's largest and most remote wilderness. Drawing on scientific and cultural perspectives, it investigates ways in which human-animal interaction reflects and informs attitudes towards the Antarctic environment. The outcome will be an original and important contribution to two burgeoning fields - human-animal studies and Antarctic studies - and to broader environmental debates.
