2. 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) […]

4. 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 […]

5. 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 […]

7. The measurement of daily energy expenditure—an evaluation of some techniques

   An energy balance survey was conducted on an Antarctic base on 12 individuals for periods varying between 6 and 12 months. Energy expenditure was estimated using two activity/dairy card techniques […]

8. The measurement of food and energy intake in man—an evaluation of some techniques

   A dietary survey was carried out on an Antarctic base over a period of 6 to 12 months on twelve individuals. Three methods of determining individual food and energy intake […]

9. A longitudinal study of body weight and body fat changes in Antarctica

   Body weight and body fat changes (calculated from skinfold thickness) that occurred in a male population spending a year on an Antarctic base are described. There was a marked individual […]

10. Genistein and estradiol have common and specific impacts on the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) skin-scale barrier

    Teleost fish scales play important roles in animal protection and homeostasis. They can be targeted by endogenous estrogens and by environmental estrogenic endocrine disruptors. The phytoestrogen genistein is ubiquitous in […]

11. Organic compounds in a sub-Antarctic ice core: A potential suite of sea-ice markers

    Investigation of organic compounds in ice cores can potentially unlock a wealth of new information in these climate archives. We present results from the first ever ice core drilled on […]

12. Humans and wind, shaping Antarctic soil arthropod biodiversity

    1. Biodiversity loss has increased globally in recent years. The major threat to Antarctica’s unique terrestrial biodiversity is the establishment of non-native species. Nonetheless, while preventing the introduction of non-native […]
