1. Guidelines for genetic data analysis

   The IWC Scientific Committee recently adopted guidelines for quality control of DNA data. Once data have been collected, the next step is to analyse the data and make inferences that […]

2. Self‐shading and meltwater spreading control the transition from light to iron limitation in an Antarctic coastal polynya

   Dotson Ice Shelf (DIS) in West Antarctica is undergoing rapid basal melting driven by intrusions of warm, saline Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the continental shelf. Meltwater from DIS is […]

3. Rapid iceberg calving following removal of tightly packed pro-glacial mélange

   Iceberg calving is a major contributor to Greenland’s ice mass loss. Pro-glacial mélange (a mixture of sea ice, icebergs, and snow) may be tightly packed in the long, narrow fjords […]

4. Temporal and spatial patterns in the distribution of squid Loligo spp. in United Kingdom waters

   A Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to test hypotheses regarding the spatial distribution of the squid Loligo forbesi and Loligo vulgaris vulgaris in the northern North-East Atlantic during the […]

5. Freshening increases the susceptibility to heat stress in intertidal mussels (Mytilus edulis) from the Arctic

   1. Temperatures in the Arctic are increasing at a faster pace than at lower latitudes resulting in range expansion of boreal species. In Greenland, the warming also drives accelerating melt […]

6. Multi-scale assessment of distribution and density of procellariiform seabirds within the Northern Antarctic Peninsula marine ecosystem

   The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming regions on earth, and it is likely that the abundance and distribution of marine predators will change as a result.Procellariiform […]

7. Statistical investigation of the frequency dependence of the chorus source mechanism of plasmaspheric hiss

   We use data from eight satellites to statistically examine the role of chorus as a potential source of plasmaspheric hiss. We find that the strong equatorial (|λm| < 6o) chorus […]

8. Not all icequakes are created equal: basal icequakes suggest diverse bed deformation mechanisms at Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

   Microseismicity, induced by the sliding of a glacier over its bed, can be used to characterize frictional properties of the ice‐bed interface, which are a key parameter controlling ice stream […]

9. East Antarctica magnetically linked to its ancient neighbours in Gondwana

   We present a new magnetic compilation for Central Gondwana conformed to a recent satellite magnetic model (LCS-1) with the help of an equivalent layer approach, resulting in consistent levels, corrections […]

11. Fungal diversity present on rocks from a polar desert in continental Antarctica assessed using DNA metabarcoding.

    We evaluated the fungal diversity associated with carbonate veins and two types of salt encrustation in rocks in a polar desert region of continental Antarctica using DNA a metabarcoding approach. […]

12. Fish heating tolerance scales similarly across individual physiology and populations

    Extrapolating patterns from individuals to populations informs climate vulnerability models, yet biological responses to warming are uncertain at both levels. Here we contrast data on the heating tolerances of fishes […]
