2. A reappraisal of the concept of metabolic cold adaptation in polar marine invertebrates

   The concept of ‘metabolic cold adaptation’, namely that polar marine ectotherms are adapted in having an elevated basal metabolic rate, has been examined in the light of recent biochemical, physiological […]

3. The biochemical composition of krill, Euphausia superba Dana, from South Georgia

   Krill, Euphausia superba Dana, sampled from waters around South Georgia in 1978 contained 10–11% protein, 2–6% lipid, 0.3–0.6% carbohydrate, 2% chitin, and 3–4% mineral ash (all mean values, % fresh […]

8. Cold hardiness of some Alpine Collembola

   1 Individual supercooling points ranged from ‐2 to ‐44°C for six species of springtails, five species from the Swiss Alps and one from lowland Britain. Individuals of Isotomurus alticola (Carl) […]

10. Survival strategies in polar terrestrial arthropods

    Three components of the survival strategy of a terrestrial Antarctic mite, Alaskozetes antarcticus (Acari: Cryptostigmata) are considered: overwintering survival, energetics and life history. Supercooling is an important feature of its […]

11. Discordant RbSr and PbPb whole rock isochron ages for the Archaean basement of Sierra Leone

    Field mapping and structural studies in northern Sierra Leone by an I.G.S. team have established a stratigraphic sequence in this part of the Archaean of the West African Craton. An […]
