Raman spectroscopic detection of key biomarkers of cyanobacteria and lichen symbiosis in extreme Antarctic habitats: Evaluation for Mars Lander missions
Read more of: Raman spectroscopic detection of key biomarkers of cyanobacteria and lichen symbiosis in extreme Antarctic habitats: Evaluation for Mars Lander missionsWith proposals that micro-miniaturised Raman spectrometers could soon be part of a suite of analytical instrumentation on the surface of Mars, it is critically important to examine the spectral information […]

The effect of vertical migration strategy on retention and dispersion in the Irish Sea during spring–summer
Read more of: The effect of vertical migration strategy on retention and dispersion in the Irish Sea during spring–summerA biophysical model of the Irish Sea was produced to predict net horizontal movement of key taxa including small copepods (Acartia, Pseudocalanus), large copepod species (Calanus finmarchicus and C. helgolandicus), […]

Mesospheric planetary waves over Antarctica during 2002
Read more of: Mesospheric planetary waves over Antarctica during 2002Wind measurements from a series of atmospheric radars located around Antarctica have been used to characterize the mesospheric planetary-wave field during the winter of 2002. Combining winds from the medium-frequency […]

Late Quaternary glacial history, flow dynamics and sedimentation along the eastern margin of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet
Read more of: Late Quaternary glacial history, flow dynamics and sedimentation along the eastern margin of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice SheetGeological and geophysical data from the NE Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf are used to reconstruct the glacial history, flow-dynamics and sedimentation of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) along its […]

Odyssey of stow-away noctuid moths to southern polar islands
Read more of: Odyssey of stow-away noctuid moths to southern polar islandsHigh southern latitude island environments are unusual in having relatively low or, in some cases, no non-indigenous species (NIS). Here we describe the accidental transport and survivorship of moths (Lepidoptera, […]

Remote islands reveal rapid rise of Southern Hemisphere sea debris
Read more of: Remote islands reveal rapid rise of Southern Hemisphere sea debrisA generation of people have now grown up thinking that shorelines strewn with anthropogenic artefacts is normal. Yet this pehnomenon is just a few decades old and aesthetics and beach […]

Bipolar patterns of intraspecific competition in bryozoans
Read more of: Bipolar patterns of intraspecific competition in bryozoansPolar shores probably represent the most dynamic and extremely disturbed environments on the globe. Nevertheless intense battles amongst sessile organisms for space are commonplace on hard substrata, mainly between fast-growing […]

Low colonisation on artificial substrata in arctic Spitsbergen
Read more of: Low colonisation on artificial substrata in arctic SpitsbergenHigh polar communities tend to be young because of the frequent and intense impact of ice (scour), so colonisation patterns are particularly important. Yet, despite a wealth of studies at […]

Drifting plastic and its consequences for sessile organism dispersal in the Atlantic Ocean
Read more of: Drifting plastic and its consequences for sessile organism dispersal in the Atlantic OceanOrganisms have travelled the Atlantic Ocean as neuston and have rafted on natural marine debris for millions of years. Shipping increased opportunities for marine organism travel mere thousands of years […]
