Tree-rings reveal two strong solar proton events in 7176 and 5259 BCE
Read more of: Tree-rings reveal two strong solar proton events in 7176 and 5259 BCEThe Sun sporadically produces eruptive events leading to intense fluxes of solar energetic particles (SEPs) that dramatically disrupt the near-Earth radiation environment. Such events have been directly studied for the […]

Bioregionalization of the South Sandwich Islands through community analysis of bathyal fish and invertebrate assemblages using fishery-derived data
Read more of: Bioregionalization of the South Sandwich Islands through community analysis of bathyal fish and invertebrate assemblages using fishery-derived dataThe 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 […]

From sealing to the MPA – A history of exploitation, conservation and management of marine living resources at the South Sandwich Islands
Read more of: From sealing to the MPA – A history of exploitation, conservation and management of marine living resources at the South Sandwich IslandsThe 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 […]

Brief communication: Impact of common ice mask in surface mass balance estimates over the Antarctic ice sheet
Read more of: Brief communication: Impact of common ice mask in surface mass balance estimates over the Antarctic ice sheetRegional 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. […]

Individual consistency in migration strategies of a tropical seabird, the Round Island petrel
Read more of: Individual consistency in migration strategies of a tropical seabird, the Round Island petrelIn 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 […]

An embayment in the East Antarctic basement constrains the shape of the Rodinian continental margin
Read more of: An embayment in the East Antarctic basement constrains the shape of the Rodinian continental marginEast 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 […]

Spatial and temporal variability and connectivity of the marine environment of the South Sandwich Islands, Southern Ocean
Read more of: Spatial and temporal variability and connectivity of the marine environment of the South Sandwich Islands, Southern OceanThe 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 […]

Regional variability of diatoms in ice cores from the Antarctic Peninsula and Ellsworth Land, Antarctica
Read more of: Regional variability of diatoms in ice cores from the Antarctic Peninsula and Ellsworth Land, AntarcticaThe 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 […]

Positive selection over the mitochondrial genome and its role in the diversification of gentoo penguins in response to adaptation in isolation
Read more of: Positive selection over the mitochondrial genome and its role in the diversification of gentoo penguins in response to adaptation in isolationAlthough 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 […]

Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada. Part V: Australasia
Read more of: Annotated zoogeography of non-marine Tardigrada. Part V: AustralasiaThis 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 […]

Monitoring vocal activity and temporal patterns in attendance of White-chinned Petrels using bioacoustics
Read more of: Monitoring vocal activity and temporal patterns in attendance of White-chinned Petrels using bioacousticsMonitoring 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 […]
