1. Bioregionalization of the South Sandwich Islands through community analysis of bathyal fish and invertebrate assemblages using fishery-derived data

   The South Sandwich Islands (SSI) are a volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean; they are a biologically rich area, home to a range of benthic habitats […]

2. From sealing to the MPA – A history of exploitation, conservation and management of marine living resources at the South Sandwich Islands

   The exploitation of marine resources of the South Sandwich Islands (SSI) began with the hunting of fur seals for their pelts in the early decades of the 19th Century. Pelagic […]

3. Brief communication: Impact of common ice mask in surface mass balance estimates over the Antarctic ice sheet

   Regional climate models compute ice sheet surface mass balance (SMB) over a mask that defines the area covered by glacier ice, but ice masks have not been harmonised between models. […]

4. Individual consistency in migration strategies of a tropical seabird, the Round Island petrel

   In migratory species, the extent of within- and between-individual variation in migratory strategies can influence potential rates and directions of responses to environmental changes. Quantifying this variation requires tracking of […]

5. An embayment in the East Antarctic basement constrains the shape of the Rodinian continental margin

   East Antarctic provinces lay at the heart of both Rodinian and Gondwanan supercontinents, yet poor exposure and limited geophysical data provide few constraints on the region’s tectonic evolution. The shape […]

6. Spatial and temporal variability and connectivity of the marine environment of the South Sandwich Islands, Southern Ocean

   The South Sandwich Islands form the eastern boundary to the highly biologically productive Scotia Sea in the southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and are part of a large […]

7. Regional variability of diatoms in ice cores from the Antarctic Peninsula and Ellsworth Land, Antarctica

   The presence of marine microfossils (diatoms) in glacier ice and ice cores has been documented from numerous sites in Antarctica, Greenland, as well as from sites in the Andes and […]

8. Positive selection over the mitochondrial genome and its role in the diversification of gentoo penguins in response to adaptation in isolation

   Although mitochondrial DNA has been widely used in phylogeography, evidence has emerged that factors such as climate, food availability, and environmental pressures that produce high levels of stress can exert […]

9. Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada. Part V: Australasia

   This paper is the fifth monograph of the series that describes the global records of limno-terrestrial water bears (Tardigrada). Here, we provide a comprehensive list of non-marine tardigrades recorded from […]

10. Monitoring vocal activity and temporal patterns in attendance of White-chinned Petrels using bioacoustics

    Monitoring of population sizes and trends using conventional surveys is challenging for nocturnal, burrow-nesting seabirds. The White-chinned Petrel is the most commonly killed species in Southern Ocean fisheries and its […]

11. Life in the freezer: Protein metabolism in Antarctic fish

    Whole-animal, in vivo protein metabolism rates have been reported in temperate and tropical, but not Antarctic fish. Growth in Antarctic species is generally slower than lower latitude species. Protein metabolism […]

12. Seasonal variability of ocean circulation near the Dotson Ice Shelf, Antarctica

    Recent rapid thinning of West Antarctic ice shelves are believed to be caused by intrusions of warm deep water that induce basal melting and seaward meltwater export. This study uses […]
