Mesozooplankton interactions with the shelf around the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Islands archipelago

An ecosystem model of the Prince Edward Island archipelago

A model of an ecosystem provides a useful tool for the exploration of management options to achieve desired objectives. With the move to a more holistic approach to marine resource management, ecosystem models and the indicators that can be derived using them, are providing a means to move away from single species management and allow for the ecosystem effects of population dynamics to be explo...

Concluding comments on the Phylogenetic relationships and phylogeograpic patterns as observed within the Ectemnorhinus-group of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from the sub-Antarctic Prince Edward Island Archipelago

Diabetes mellitus in Prince Edward island.

Registers of diabetic persons can provide good epidemiologic data and few countries have them1-6). In Prince Edward Island (PEI), all diabetics who register annually with the Provincial Department of Health can obtain prescribed hypoglycemic medications and urine testing materials free of charge. This drug programme has served as an informal register since 1964. We present here the data on (i) ...

Using distributed temperature sensors to monitor an Antarctic ice shelf and sub-ice-shelf cavity

Monitoring of ice-shelf and sub-ice-shelf ocean temperatures represents an important component in understanding ice-sheet stability. Continuous monitoring is challenging due to difficult surface access, difficulties in penetrating the ice shelf, and the need for long-term operation of nonrecoverable sensors. We aim to develop rapid lightweight drilling and near-continuous fiber-optic temperatur...
