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 […]

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 […]

A new method for the determination of primary and secondary terrestrial and marine biomarkers in ice cores using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry
Read more of: A new method for the determination of primary and secondary terrestrial and marine biomarkers in ice cores using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometryThe majority of atmospheric compounds measured in ice cores are inorganic, while analysis of their organic counterparts is a less well developed field. In recent years, understanding of formation, transport […]

Mesozooplankton of the Scotia Sea: present, past and future
Read more of: Mesozooplankton of the Scotia Sea: present, past and futureThe potential impact of global warming on plankton populations and processes in the Southern Ocean is cause for concern. Greatest attention has concentrated on Antarctic krill, a keystone macroplankton species […]
