Will giant polar amphipods be first to fare badly in an oxygen-poor ocean? Testing hypotheses linking oxygen to body size
Read more of: Will giant polar amphipods be first to fare badly in an oxygen-poor ocean? Testing hypotheses linking oxygen to body sizeIt has been suggested that giant Antarctic marine invertebrates will be particularly vulnerable to declining O2 levels as our ocean warms in line with current climate change predictions. Our study […]

Physiological diversity, biodiversity patterns and global climate change: testing key hypotheses involving temperature and oxygen
Read more of: Physiological diversity, biodiversity patterns and global climate change: testing key hypotheses involving temperature and oxygenDocumenting and explaining global patterns of biodiversity in time and space have fascinated and occupied biologists for centuries. Investigation of the importance of these patterns, and their underpinning mechanisms, has […]

Modeling the influence of the Weddell Polynya on the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf cavity
Read more of: Modeling the influence of the Weddell Polynya on the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf cavityOpen-ocean polynyas in the Weddell Sea of Antarctica are the product of deep convection, which transports Warm Deep Water (WDW) to the surface and melts sea ice or prevents its […]

Distribution of the genus Boeckella (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida, Centropagidae)at high latitudes in South America and the main Antarctic biogeographic regions
Read more of: Distribution of the genus Boeckella (Crustacea, Copepoda, Calanoida, Centropagidae)at high latitudes in South America and the main Antarctic biogeographic regionsCopepods are present in numerous aquatic environments, playing key roles in food webs, and are thought to be useful indicators of environmental change. Boeckella is a calanoid copepod genus distributed […]

Processes of formation and filling of a Mesozoic back-arc basin on the island of South Georgia
Read more of: Processes of formation and filling of a Mesozoic back-arc basin on the island of South GeorgiaSouth Georgia contains a diverse suite of rocks representing different stages in the development of a back-arc basin on the Gondwana margin during the Mesozoic. Basin formation initially involved intrusion […]

Glacier flexure and the position of grounding lines: measurements By tiltmeter on Rutford Ice Stream, Antarctica
Read more of: Glacier flexure and the position of grounding lines: measurements By tiltmeter on Rutford Ice Stream, AntarcticaTwo methods were used to locate the grounding line on the Rutford Ice Stream. The first method determined where the glacier was floating in hydrostatic equilibrium, while the second method […]

Ecophysiology of two intertidal mites at South Georgia
Read more of: Ecophysiology of two intertidal mites at South GeorgiaThe resistance of Halozetes marinus (Cryptostigmata) and Hyadesia maxima (Astigmata) to cold and heat, to submergence in water and to anoxia was studied to determine their adaptations to the intertidal […]
