Snow algae are important primary producers in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems. As short-term Antarctic summer temperatures approach 20°C, parameterising temperature tolerance for snow algal species is key to determining how climate […]
Antarctic krill swarm structure, biomass, and distribution to the northwest of the South Orkney Islands, Southern Ocean, were investigated using a combination of acoustic and scientific net trawl data. Krill […]
The Western Antarctic Peninsula is a key area in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Dense microalgal communities not only support diverse wildlife, but can also exert a climatic influence through CO2-uptake […]
Despite their importance in food webs and predominance among species bycaught in Southern Ocean toothfish fisheries, the trophic ecology of grenadiers of the genus Macrourus, remains poorly understood. Here, we […]
Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers dominate Antarctica’s sea-level contribution. However, it remains unclear whether their ice loss is driven by anomalously warm present-day ocean conditions, perhaps linked to anthropogenic climate […]
Strong biogeographic structure across the Southern Ocean has led to the recognition of multiple geographically restricted species in many coastal taxa. We examined evolutionary relationships within the Antarctic notothenioid fish […]
Empirical in-situ measurements of ecosystem carbon dioxide respiration (Reco) in high-latitude ecosystems remain limited, yet they are essential for understanding how tundra carbon cycling responds to climate warming across different […]
Effective fisheries management requires an understanding of the key influences on population variability. A fundamental driver of variability, particularly for isolated island populations, is the transport of planktonic early-life stages. […]
Euphausiids play important roles in ecosystems worldwide, transferring energy from primary producers to secondary consumers. Antarctic krill are the most abundant euphausiid on Earth and play important roles as critically […]
Globisporangium polare is an oomycete species associated with mosses.Here, we report the draft genome sequence of G. polare strain 14-1, isolated fromSanionia uncinata (sickle-leaved hook-moss) on Adelaide Island, Antarctica.
Globally, biodiversity loss is accelerating, with biological invasions representing one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Increasingly, research visits to isolated locations, such as the sub-Antarctic islands, […]
