Functional roles of microbial symbionts in plant cold tolerance
Read more of: Functional roles of microbial symbionts in plant cold toleranceIn this review, we examine the functional roles of microbial symbionts in plant tolerance to cold and freezing stresses. The impacts of symbionts on antioxidant activity, hormonal signaling and host […]

Genome-wide insights into introgression and its consequences for genome-wide heterozygosity in the Mytilus species complex across Europe
Read more of: Genome-wide insights into introgression and its consequences for genome-wide heterozygosity in the Mytilus species complex across EuropeThe three mussel species comprising the Mytilus complex are widespread across Europe and readily hybridize when they occur in sympatry, resulting in a mosaic of populations with varying genomic backgrounds. […]

Discovery of microcystin-producing Anagnostidinema pseudacutissimum from cryopreserved Antarctic cyanobacterial mats
Read more of: Discovery of microcystin-producing Anagnostidinema pseudacutissimum from cryopreserved Antarctic cyanobacterial matsMicrocystins (MCs) are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria and have been well-documented in temperate and tropical regions. However, knowledge of the production of MCs in extremely cold environments is still […]

First records of morphological diversity and ecology of periphytic cyanobacteria from Tukun River, Penang Forest Reserve, Malaysia
Read more of: First records of morphological diversity and ecology of periphytic cyanobacteria from Tukun River, Penang Forest Reserve, MalaysiaDespite the abundance of streams and rivers in Malaysia, the algal communities of these lotic ecosystems have remained largely unstudied. In a one-year floristic survey conducted from December 2014, 24 […]

Measurement of snowfall: preliminary tests at the British Antarctic Survey Rothera Research Station, Antarctica
Read more of: Measurement of snowfall: preliminary tests at the British Antarctic Survey Rothera Research Station, AntarcticaA heated snowgauge was installed at Rothera in 2008 and continues to be in operation at the present time. Its measurements have been used to estimate annual snowfall at Rothera, […]

Successful practice in early career networks: insights from the polar sciences
Read more of: Successful practice in early career networks: insights from the polar sciencesAcquiring not only field-specific knowledge but also a set of transferable professional skills becomes increasingly important for Early Career Scientists (ECS) in Geosciences and other academic disciplines. Although the need […]

A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records
Read more of: A global database of Holocene paleotemperature recordsA comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of quality-controlled, published, temperature-sensitive proxy […]

Evaluating the effectiveness of a large multi-use MPA in protecting Key Biodiversity Areas for marine predators
Read more of: Evaluating the effectiveness of a large multi-use MPA in protecting Key Biodiversity Areas for marine predatorsMarine protected areas can serve to regulate harvesting and conserve biodiversity. Within large multi‐use MPAs, it is often unclear to what degree critical sites of biodiversity are afforded protection against […]

Plasticity in dormancy behaviour of Calanoides acutus in Antarctic coastal waters
Read more of: Plasticity in dormancy behaviour of Calanoides acutus in Antarctic coastal watersCopepods that enter dormancy, such as Calanoides acutus, are key primary consumers in Southern Ocean food webs where they convert a portion of the seasonal phytoplankton biomass into a longer-term […]

Subglacial lakes and hydrology across the Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands, West Antarctica
Read more of: Subglacial lakes and hydrology across the Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands, West AntarcticaSubglacial water plays an important role in ice sheet dynamics and stability. Subglacial lakes are often located at the onset of ice streams and have been hypothesised to enhance ice […]
