  • Preferred, small‑scale foraging areas of two Southern Ocean fur seal species are not determined by habitat characteristics 
    Wege, Mia; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Hindell, Mark A.; Lea, Mary‑Anne; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt (BioMed Central, 2019-09-11)
    BACKGROUND : To understand and predict the distribution of foragers, it is crucial to identify the factors that affect individual movement decisions at different scales. Individuals are expected to adjust their foraging ...
  • Prevalence of allosuckling behaviour in Subantarctic fur seal pups 
    De Bruyn, P.J. Nico; Cameron, Elissa Z.; Tosh, Cheryl A.; Oosthuizen, Wessel Christiaan; Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Mufanadzo, N. Thomas; Phalanndwa, Mashudu V.; Postma, Martin; Wege, Mia; Van der Merwe, Derek S.; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt (Elsevier, 2010-01)
    Non-offspring maternal care should be rare due to the high costs of raising offspring, particularly lactation, but nonetheless occurs in a variety of taxa. Misguided parental care, associated with recognition errors and/or ...
  • Return customers : foraging site fidelity and the effect of environmental variability in wide-ranging Antarctic fur seals 
    Arthur, Benjamin; Hindell, Mark A.; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt; Trathan, Phil; Jonsen, Ian; Staniland, Lain; Oosthuizen, Wessel Christiaan; Wege, Mia; Lea, Mary-Anne (Public Library of Science, 2015-03-25)
    Strategies employed by wide-ranging foraging animals involve consideration of habitat quality and predictability and should maximise net energy gain. Fidelity to foraging sites is common in areas of high resource ...
  • Reviews and syntheses : a framework to observe, understand and project ecosystem response to environmental change in the East Antarctic Southern Ocean 
    Gutt, Julian; Arndt, Stefanie; Barnes, David Keith Alan; Bornemann, Horst; Brey, Thomas; Eisen, Olaf; Flores, Hauke; Griffiths, Huw; Haas, Christian; Hain, Stefan; Hattermann, Tore; Held, Christoph; Hoppema, Mario; Isla, Enrique; Janout, Markus; Le Bohec, Celine; Link, Heike; Mark, Felix Christopher; Moreau, Sebastien; Trimborn, Scarlett; Van Opzeeland, Ilse; Portner, Hans-Otto; Schaafsma, Fokje; Teschke, Katharina; Tippenhauer, Sandra; Van de Putte, Anton; Wege, Mia; Zitterbart, Daniel; Piepenburg, Dieter (Copernicus Publications, 2022-11-23)
    Systematic long-term studies on ecosystem dynamics are largely lacking from the East Antarctic Southern Ocean, although it is well recognized that they are indispensable to identify the ecological impacts and risks ...
  • Ross seal distribution in the Weddell Sea : fact and fallacy 
    Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt; Wege, Mia; Oosthuizen, Wessel Christiaan; Bornemann, Horst (Springer, 2020-01)
    The presence of Ross seals (Ommatophoca rossii) throughout the Weddell Sea is at best equivocal although overview articles usually depict this as fact on distribution maps. This study reviewed the appropriate literature ...
  • Trend changes in sympatric Subantarctic and Antarctic fur seal pup populations at Marion Island, Southern Ocean 
    Wege, Mia; Etienne, Marie-Pierre; Oosthuizen, Wessel Christiaan; Reisinger, Ryan Rudolf; Bester, Marthan Nieuwoudt; De Bruyn, P.J. Nico (Wiley, 2016-07)
    Recent pup population estimates of sympatric Subantarctic (Arctocephalus tropicalis) and Antarctic fur seals (A. gazella) at Marion Island are presented. Published pup population estimates of A. tropicalis (1995 and 2004) ...
  • A vast icefish breeding colony discovered in the Antarctic 
    Purser, Autun; Hehemann, Laura; Boehringer, Lilian; Tippenhauer, Sandra; Wege, Mia; Bornemann, Horst; Pineda-Metz, Santiago E.A.; Flintrop, Clara M.; Koch, Florian; Hellmer, Hartmut H.; Burkhardt-Holm, Patricia; Janout, Markus; Werner, Ellen; Glemser, Barbara; Balaguer, Jenna; Rogge, Andreas; Holtappels, Moritz; Wenzhoefer, Frank (Elsevier, 2022-02)
    A breeding colony of notothenioid icefish (Neopagetopsis ionah, Nybelin 1947) of globally unprecedented extent has been discovered in the southern Weddell Sea, Antarctica. The colony was estimated to cover at least 240 ...
