Dominants were 3 Pygoscelis species (19229 pairs). Five species of pinnipedians were noticed. Mirounga leonina was most abundant in January (623 individuals), Arctocephalus gazella — in February and March (890 individuals), Hydrurga leptonyx in October (39 individuals). The abundance of Leptonychotes weddelli was low and rather stable. As a result of mild winter during the study period such birds as Sterna vittata and Pygoscelis adeliae stayed near their breeding places. The scarcity of Lobodon carcinophagus was probably also a result of this mild winter.}, type={Article}, title={Monitoring of birds and pinnipedians on King George Island (South Shetland Islands) in 1989/1990}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111036/PDF-MASTER/1993-1_075-089.pdf}, keywords={Antarctica, birds, pinnipedians, monitoring}, }
