Marine ecosystems face multiple human threats, and many species are declining. The wandering albatross Diomedea exulans, black-browed albatross Thalassarche melanophris and grey-headed albatross T. chrysostoma are categorised globally as Vulnerable, […]
Greenland’s fjords modulate exchanges between its outlet glaciers and the open ocean. Subglacial discharge and iceberg melt redistribute heat and salt in the fjord, modifying waters at glacier fronts and […]
The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) has been an important strand in ecology for almost a quarter of a century, renewing interest in the importance of body size and the […]
Globalization has increased human movement, transforming ecosystems and introducing non-native species that threaten biodiversity, particularly in Antarctica. Due to its harsh climatic conditions, Antarctica has largely remained protected from biological […]
The export of elements (particularly carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus) from the Poles critically supports global marine biodiversity and major fisheries as well as the sequestration of atmospheric carbon to the […]
The Southern Ocean is central to global ocean mixing and climate regulation via its disproportionate uptake of human-induced heat and carbon dioxide, yet the underlying processes are still poorly understood. […]
We present a genome assembly of an individual Borostomias antarcticus (large-eye snaggletooth; Chordata; Actinopteri; Stomiiformes; Stomiidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 909.23 megabases. Most of the assembly […]
Antarctic sea-ice cover reached historically low levels in 2023, consistent with the simulated decrease in sea-ice extent in response to anthropogenic warming. Antarctic sea ice is closely linked to multiple […]
Emerging infectious diseases pose threats to wildlife, particularly in geographically isolated populations where hosts may lack prior exposure and immunity. Seabirds inhabiting remote islands in the southwest Atlantic and Southern […]
Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1; ~17.5-15 thousand years before present) was characterized by a weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) that resulted in large hydroclimate changes across the global […]
A coupled modeling framework is often used to forecast the near-Earth solar wind conditions. This consists of a coronal model for close to the Sun and a heliospheric model for […]
