Risk assessment of SAS-CoV-2 in Antarctic wildlife
Andrés Barbosa et.al (2020). Risk assessment of SARS-CoV-2 in Antarctic wildlife. Science of The Total Environment, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.143352.
RAATD
The Retrospective Analysis of the Antarctic Tracking Data (RAATD) project is undertaking a multi-species assessment of habitat use of Antarctic top predators in the Southern Ocean based on existing animal tracking data to identify Areas of Ecological Significance (AES), which are regions that are important for foraging to a range of predators and which have high diversity and abundance of lower trophic levels.
The first workshop in Brussels established a database (with associated metadata) of over 2000 individual tracks from the Southern Ocean, drawing on contributions from more than 30 data owners. The workshop also established an analytical frame work for analyses of these data to identify AES in the Southern Ocean based on existing animal tracking data.
The second meeting was hosted by the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (institute for Advanced Studies) in Delmenhorst, Germany, with financial support from HWK, the Alfred Wegner Institute, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), SCAR, and Macquarie University. The participants included database specialists, spatial ecologists and statisticians with the objective to consolidate the database and to develop the habitat utilisation models (HUMs) that underpin the RAATD goals.
