Muscle metabolism in Antarctic fish
Read more of: Muscle metabolism in Antarctic fish1. The energy metabolism of Antarctic fish muscles is discussed in relation to environmental temperature and the fishes’ locomotory habits. 2. The predominant body form in terms of body shape […]

Variations in resting metabolic rates of men in Antarctica
Read more of: Variations in resting metabolic rates of men in AntarcticaThe resting metabolic rates (RMR) of 6 men was determined monthly for 12 consecutive months, at Rothera Base, Antarctica (67°34′S, 68°07′W). Body weight and body composition were also recorded. Metabolic […]

Ionospheric signature of plasma sheet thinning prior to a substorm
Read more of: Ionospheric signature of plasma sheet thinning prior to a substormA case study of the behaviour of the poleward edge of the main F-region trough in the premidnight sector associated with a substorm is presented. It is found that the […]

A risk assessment framework for the socio-economic impacts of electricity transmission infrastructure failure due to space weather: an application to the United Kingdom
Read more of: A risk assessment framework for the socio-economic impacts of electricity transmission infrastructure failure due to space weather: an application to the United KingdomSpace weather phenomena have been studied in detail in the peer‐reviewed scientific literature. However, there has arguably been scant analysis of the potential socioeconomic impacts of space weather, despite a […]

Geometric morphometrics reveal interspecific and sexual differences in bill morphology in four sympatric planktivorous petrels
Read more of: Geometric morphometrics reveal interspecific and sexual differences in bill morphology in four sympatric planktivorous petrelsVariation in morphological structures may indicate the existence of ecological differences between species or sexes. In birds, the bill is one of the structures most affected by selection pressures because […]

Spatially coherent late Holocene Antarctic Peninsula surface air temperature variability
Read more of: Spatially coherent late Holocene Antarctic Peninsula surface air temperature variabilityThe Antarctic Peninsula experienced a rapid rise in regional temperature during the second half of the 20th century, but the regional pattern of multi-centennial temperature changes and their dynamical drivers […]

Condition of pteropod shells near a volcanic CO2 vent region
Read more of: Condition of pteropod shells near a volcanic CO2 vent regionNatural gradients of pH in the ocean are useful analogues for studying the projected impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA) on marine ecosystems. Here we document the in situ impact of […]
