Benthic biodiversity in the South Orkney Islands Southern Shelf Marine Protected Area
Read more of: Benthic biodiversity in the South Orkney Islands Southern Shelf Marine Protected AreaThe South Orkney Islands Southern Shelf (SOISS) Marine Protected Area (MPA) was the first MPA to be designated entirely within the high seas and is managed under the Commission for […]

Extreme spikes in DMS flux double estimates of biogenic sulfur export from the Antarctic coastal zone to the atmosphere
Read more of: Extreme spikes in DMS flux double estimates of biogenic sulfur export from the Antarctic coastal zone to the atmosphereBiogenic dimethylsulfide (DMS) is a significant contributor to sulfur flux from the oceans to the atmosphere, and the most significant source of aerosol non sea-salt sulfate (NSS-SO42−), a key regulator […]

Krill faecal pellets drive hidden pulses of particulate organic carbon in the marginal ice zone
Read more of: Krill faecal pellets drive hidden pulses of particulate organic carbon in the marginal ice zoneThe biological carbon pump drives a flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) through the ocean and affects atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Short term, episodic flux events are hard to […]

Adaptation of proteins to the cold in Antarctic fish: A role for Methionine?
Read more of: Adaptation of proteins to the cold in Antarctic fish: A role for Methionine?The evolution of antifreeze glycoproteins has enabled notothenioid fish to flourish in the freezing waters of the Southern Ocean.Whereas successful at the biodiversity level to life in the cold, paradoxically […]

Isolation, characterisation and lipase production of a cold-adapted bacterial strain isolated from Signy Island, Antarctica
Read more of: Isolation, characterisation and lipase production of a cold-adapted bacterial strain isolated from Signy Island, AntarcticaIn recent years, studies on psychrophilic lipases have been an emerging area of research in the field of enzymology. This study focuses on bacterial strains isolated from anthropogenically-influenced soil samples […]

Unsupervised clustering of Southern Ocean Argo float temperature profiles
Read more of: Unsupervised clustering of Southern Ocean Argo float temperature profilesThe Southern Ocean has complex spatial variability, characterized by sharp fronts, steeply tilted isopycnals, and deep seasonal mixed layers. Methods of defining Southern Ocean spatial structures traditionally rely on somewhat […]

First assessment of MHC diversity in wild Scottish red deer populations
Read more of: First assessment of MHC diversity in wild Scottish red deer populationsControl and mitigation of disease in wild ungulate populations are one of the major challenges in wildlife management. Despite the importance of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes for immune […]

Ten years on: A review of the first global conservation horizon scan
Read more of: Ten years on: A review of the first global conservation horizon scanOur first horizon scan, conducted in 2009, aimed to identify novel but poorly known issues with potentially significant effects on global conservation of biological diversity. Following completion of the tenth […]

Tectonic strain recorded by magnetic fabrics (AMS) in plutons, including Mt Kinabalu, Borneo: A tool to explore past tectonic regimes and syn-magmatic deformation
Read more of: Tectonic strain recorded by magnetic fabrics (AMS) in plutons, including Mt Kinabalu, Borneo: A tool to explore past tectonic regimes and syn-magmatic deformationTectonic strain commonly overprints magmatic fabrics in AMS (Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility) data for plutonic rocks produced by both compressional and extensional regimes. Mt Kinabalu, Borneo, is a composite pluton […]
