Southern Ocean Diet and Energetics Database

Information related to diet and energy flow is fundamental to a diverse range of Antarctic and Southern Ocean biological and ecosystem studies. The SCAR Expert Groups on Antarctic Biodiversity Informatics (EG-ABI) and Birds and Marine Mammals (EG-BAMM) are collating a centralised database of such information to assist the scientific community in this work. It includes data related to diet and energy flow from conventional (e.g. gut content) and modern (e.g. molecular) studies, stable isotopes, fatty acids, and energetic content.

饮食与能量流动相关信息，是开展各类南极及南大洋生物与生态系统研究的核心基础。南极研究科学委员会（Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, SCAR）下属的南极生物多样性信息学专家小组（Expert Groups on Antarctic Biodiversity Informatics, EG-ABI）与鸟类及海洋哺乳动物专家小组（Expert Groups on Birds and Marine Mammals, EG-BAMM），正整合此类信息的集中式数据库，以助力科学界推进相关研究。该数据库涵盖来自传统研究（如胃含物分析）与现代研究（如分子生物学分析）的饮食与能量流动相关数据，同时包含稳定同位素、脂肪酸及能量含量相关数据。
