4. Nanorchestes antarcticus Strandtmann (Prostigmata) from Antarctic ice

   Nanorchestes antarcticus Strandtmann 1967 (Prostigmata: Pachygnathidae) is reported in ice samples from the MacLeod Glacier оп Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic. Its оссuпепсе in glacier ice is discussed in […]

5. Cold tolerance of micro-arthropods from Alaskan taiga

   Mean supercooling points for a variety of soil and litter arthropods including mites, springtails, a heteropteran and immature spiders from a central Alaskan taiga site ranged from ‐6.3 to ‐28.5°C […]

6. Natural selection in house mice (Mus musculus) from South Georgia (South Atlantic Ocean)

   Mice living in tussock grass on a remote headland of the South Atlantic island of South Georgia (54°S) where the mean temperature is less than 2°C and the monthly average […]

7. Sources of elevated heavy metal concentrations in sediments and benthic marine invertebrates of the western Antarctic Peninsula

   Antarctica is one of the least anthropogenically-impacted areas of the world. Metal sources to the marine environment include localised activities of research stations and glacial meltwater containing metals of lithogenic […]

8. Experimental studies on the cold tolerance of Alaskozetes antarcticus

   The cold tolerance mechanism of the Antarctic terrestrial mite Alaskozetes antarcticus (Michael) was investigated in cultured animals. Freezing is fatal in this species and winter survival occurs by means of […]

9. Some factors affecting metabolic rate in an Antarctic mite

   1. Determinations of live weight-specific oxygen consumption (metabolic rate) in adults of the Antarctic terrestrial mite Alaskozetes antarcticus (Michael) showed that starvation resulted in metabolic suppression. 2. Food materials were […]

10. Cold hardiness in a temperate cryptostigmatid mite

    The temperate cryptostigmatid mite Humerobates rostrolamellatus Grandjean tolerates temperatures below -20°C by supercooling. Glycerol is present in these animals after acclimation at 0°C. The significance of these findings is briefly […]

11. Seasonal fluctuations in microbial activity in Antarctic moss peat

    The Signy Island terrestrial reference sites epitomize unpolluted maritime Antarctic tundra. The extreme transition from the harsh Antarctic winter to the milder summer facilitates studies of the effects of freeze-thaw […]
