1. The origin of the Southern Ocean marine fauna

   Current knowledge of the break-up of Gondwana during the Tertiary indicates that shallow water marine habitats may have been present continuously, and on occasions were considerably more extensive than at […]

3. Analyses of field moult data: prediction of intermoult period and assessment of seasonal growth in Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba Dana

   A technique for moult staging Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) was used in the analysis of field samples to predict intermoult periods and hence assess growth and the effects of […]

5. Pre-natal investment in reproduction by female Antarctic fur seals

   Maternal investment, in terms of pup birth mass, in gestation by Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) was related to the date of birth in two consecutive years. There were significant […]

6. Carbon dioxide exchange of two ecodemes of Schistidium antarctici in Continental Antarctica

   Schistidium antarctici is the commonest of five bryophytes known in the Windmill Islands area of Wilkes Land, Greater Antarctica. In moist habitats it forms closed carpets, but in dry sites […]

7. Calanoid copepods from South Georgia, with special reference to size dimorphism within the genus Pseudoboeckella

   Three species of calanoid copepods, Boeckella michaelseni, Parabroteas sarsii and Pseudoboeckella poppei were recorded from 6 freshwater localities in the Husvik area, South Georgia. Of the latter species two distinct […]

8. Muscle fibre types and metabolism in post-larval and adult stages of notothenioid fish

   A histochemical study was carried out on muscle fibre types in the myotomes of post-larval and adult stages of seven species of notothenioid fish. There was little interspecific variation in […]

9. Factors affecting weaning weight in Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella at South Georgia

   Relationships between size, body condition, age and feeding-attendance patterns during pup rearing of female Antacrtic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella and their effects on the timing of birth and weaning, pup […]

10. The effects of freezing and desiccation on photosynthesis and survival of terrestrial Antarctic algae and cyanobacteria

    The effects of low temperatures, freezing and desiccation on a cyanobacterium (Phormidium) and an alga (Prasiola) from terrestrial Antarctic habitats were investigated. Net photosynthesis per unit dry weight, measured by […]

11. Spatial and temporal distribution of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) on the breeding grounds at Bird Island, South Georgia

    The number of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) in the area of the Scotia Sea has been increasing. Observation of their distribution on the breeding grounds are important to help […]

12. Processes controlling the downstream evolution of ice rheology in glacier shear margins: case study on Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica

    Ice rheology governs how glaciers flow and respond to environmental change. The rheology of glacier ice evolves in response to a variety of mechanisms, including damage, heating, melting and the […]
