Defining winning strategies in a changing Southern Ocean

南大洋的生态系统极其复杂，了解其对快速气候变化的反应具有挑战性。该项目的目的是利用海洋捕食者行为的变化，为整个冬季南极东部生态系统的综合变化提供新的测量方法。通过电子标记、天然生物地球化学标记和模拟建模的新组合，该项目希望重建动物行为对环境变化的反应。预计这些数据将解释南大洋生态系统正在发生的大规模变化，提供支持未来管理和适应战略所需的信息。

The ecosystem of the Southern Ocean is extremely complex, and understanding its response to rapid climate change is challenging. The aim of the project is to use changes in the behaviour of marine predators to provide new measures of integrated changes in eastern Antarctic ecosystems throughout the winter. With novel combinations of electronic tagging, natural biogeochemical markers, and simulation modelling, the project expects to reconstruct changes in animal behaviour in response to changes in the environment. The data is anticipated to explain ongoing large-scale shifts in Southern Ocean ecosystems, providing information needed to underpin future management and adaptation strategies.
