2. Comparison of short period TID morphologies in Antarctica during geomagnetically quiet and active intervals

   Travelling ionospheric disturbances with periods in the range 10 < τ < 30 min were observed by an HF Doppier network on the Antarctic Peninsula. A distinction was made between […]

3. The biota and conservation status of sub-Antarctic islands

   Six island or island groups (Marion and Prince Edwards Islands, Iles Crozet, Iles Kerguelen, Heard and McDonald Islands, Macquarie Island, South Georgia) are considered in this account to belong to […]

4. Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems

   The Maritime and Continental Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are considered in the context of environmental impacts-habitat destruction, alien introductions, and pollution. Their ability to recover from perturbation is discussed in the […]

5. The status and conservation of Antarctic seals and seabirds: A review

   Present threats to Antarctic seabirds and seals when ashore include disturbance and habitat destruction (some directly caused by humans; most through the introduction of rabbits and other grazers; also seal […]

6. The exploitation of Antarctic minerals

   Exploitation of minerals either from continental shelves or land areas free of ice has yet to take place in the Antarctic. The paper considers pressures, commercial, strategic, and possible depletion […]

9. Foraging energetics of Grey-headed Albatrosses Diomedea chrysostoma at Bird Island, South Georgia

   At‐sea metabolism (CO2 production) and water turnover of six breeding Grey‐headed Albatrosses Diomedea chrysostoma were measured, using the doubly labelled water method, at Bird Island, South Georgia, Mean food consumption […]

10. Lipid in an arctic food chain: Calanus, Bolinopsis, Beroe

    The zooplankton of the fjords of Svalbard in late summer is dominated by copepodites of Calanus glacialis (JASCHNOV). These are consumed by, among others, the lobate ctenophore Bolinopsis infundibulum (O.F. […]

11. Spatial and temporal scales matter when assessing the species and genetic diversity of springtails (Collembola) in Antarctica

    Seven species of springtail (Collembola) are present in Victoria Land, Antarctica and all have now been sequenced at the DNA barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I […]

12. Energy flow in growth and production

    Growth involves two flows of energy: the chemical energy in the monomers used to construct the macromolecules that comprise tissue (proteins, nucleic acids, lipid membranes), and the metabolic energy used […]
