This is a scanned copy of the vertebrate ecologists report from Macquarie Island, 1985, written by Mark Hindell. The report includes: The diet of the four penguin species breeding on Macquarie Island (Royal, Rockhopper, King and Gentoo). Aspects of the morphology of the four penguin species The past and present status of the southern elephant seal on Macquarie and Heard Islands

This is a scanned copy of the Vertebrate Ecologists report from Davis Station, 1987. The report was written by Michael Whitehead. The report covers: Elephant Seals - Census and tagging program Weddell Seals - Adult resight and pup tagging programs Adelie Penguins - Monitoring population size (aerial photographic survey, and ground survey/pattern of occupation of colonies) - Diet study - Survival/mortality study of eggs and chicks - Seasonal fluctuation in adult condition and chick growth - Energetics studies - Swimming behaviour - Food availability Emperor Penguins - Diet study - Amanda Bay census Seabird studies - Southern Giant Petrel censusing and banding - Rauer Island seabirds (reference breeding group counts/banding and 1987/88 Rauers program)

This is a scanned copy of the vertebrate ecologists report from Davis Station in 1983, written by Rhys Puddicombe. Taken from the report: This annual report covers the period 9/11/82 to 10/12/83. As such it is an incomplete record, as some projects are ongoing until mid-January 1984, whilst others will be begun and completed between early December and mid-January. Where this is the case only a brief outline will be presented to illustrate the aims of these projects. This report will generally deal only with practical work and raw results as the majority of analyses will not be completed until early 1984. The two major projects for the year have been seal tagging/resighting, and penguin vomit analysis. Several additional projects are complementary to this work, but for clarity's sake will be covered separately. Finally, several minor projects have involved either observations or data and material collections for analysis by people in Australia. Topics covered by this report: Lakes Fishing Fat collection Briefing/equipping members of Dick Smith Explorer Elephant Seals - Davis Beach census - Day trips - Branding - Collection of teeth and toenails - Seal census on voyage through pack ice Weddell Seals - Faeces collection for Ken Green - Seal recording - Seal tagging/resighting - Aerial weddell surveys/census Seabird census from Australia to Mawson Ice Edge Giant Petrel banding Vomiting of Southern Fulmars and Cape Petrels and bolus collection of Skuas and Giant Petrels Emperor Penguin vomiting Adelie penguins - Blood collections - Dead adelie collection - Egg collection - Penguin banding - Counts of breeding reference groups - Adelie vomiting

These notes present a summary of observations on seabirds, seals and plankton conducted from the vessel Kyo Maru No 27 during the seventh International Decade of Cetacean Research Southern Hemisphere Minke Whale Assessment cruise. The cruise was conducted under the auspices of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to whom Paul Ensor was contracted as a consultant. The information presented here are personal observations only; recorded outside normal research hours or in such a manner that his participation in the cetacean research was not compromised.

This file contains a biology report from Wilkes station in 1968. As well as a report, the file also contains correspondence and some banding data. Much of the information appears to relate to Adelie Penguins and South Polar Skuas. The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This file contains a biology report produced at Wilkes Station in 1961. Contributors to the report were R. Penney, D.F. Soucek, L. Jones and N. Orton. The report comprises data pertaining to: Adelie penguins Emperor penguins Silver-grey petrels Antarctic petrels Cape pigeons Giant petrels Skuas Snow petrels Wilson's storm petrels Weddell seals Leopard seals Elephant seals Ross seals Killer whales The hard copy of the map has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

A collection of at sea observations made of icebergs, seabirds and whales on the BROKE voyage of the Aurora Australis during the 1995-1996 summer season. The data are mostly text or csv files and document observations of icebergs, seabirds and whales, giving times and/or locations. Further supporting information may be included in the data download, or in other metadata records relating to the BROKE voyage (as opposed to the later BROKE-West voyage).

This file contains a biology report from Wilkes station in 1963. The report pertains specifically to a visit to Ardery Island in January, 1963 by F. Soucek. The report contains biological observations, as well as an extract from a publication and some hand-drawn maps. The observations were made of: South polar skuas Giant petrels Cape pigeons Silver-grey petrels Antarctic petrels Snow petrels Wilson's storm petrels The hard copy of the map has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.
