Spatiotemporal faunal connectivity across global seafloors
Our knowledge of biogeographic patterns and processes in the deep sea has been limited by the lack of integrated datasets that cover its vast extent1. Here we analyse a new […]

Late Quaternary environmental change in eastern Beringia: new advances and unresolved questions
Read more of: Late Quaternary environmental change in eastern Beringia: new advances and unresolved questionsEastern Beringia (Alaska and western Yukon) is an extensive, high-latitude region of North America that remained largely unglaciated throughout the Quaternary. Consequently, its sedimentary deposits preserve long-term environmental records that […]

Moisture Source Controls on Water Isotopes in Antarctic Precipitation—Insights From Water Tracers in ECHAM6-Wiso
Read more of: Moisture Source Controls on Water Isotopes in Antarctic Precipitation—Insights From Water Tracers in ECHAM6-WisoThe interpretation of water isotope records in Antarctic ice cores is crucial for our understandingof past climate changes. Here we use novel water tracers in an ECHAM6‐wiso simulation to investigatemoisture […]

And then there were many: insights from the tangled taxonomy of the Antarctic brittle star Ophioplinthus gelida (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea)
Read more of: And then there were many: insights from the tangled taxonomy of the Antarctic brittle star Ophioplinthus gelida (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea)To effectively manage biological assemblages, a sound knowledge of the biodiversity is essential. The Southern Ocean shelf benthic assemblages are typically comprised of species, the names of which are shared […]

Tracing the biogeographic history of the world’s most isolated insular floras
Read more of: Tracing the biogeographic history of the world’s most isolated insular florasInferring general biogeographic patterns in the sub-Antarctic region has been challenging due to the disparate geological origins of its islands and archipelagos—ranging from Gondwanan fragments to uplifted seafloor and more […]

Historical Niche Partitioning of Baleen Whales in the Western South Atlantic
Read more of: Historical Niche Partitioning of Baleen Whales in the Western South AtlanticBaleen whales are key marine predators that were heavily exploited throughout the 20th century, resulting in reductions in population size for many species. Whilst population recovery is evident for some […]

Daily turnover of airborne bacterial communities in the sub-Antarctic
Read more of: Daily turnover of airborne bacterial communities in the sub-AntarcticColonization of remote ecosystems by new microorganisms poses a significant threat to the diversity and function of native microbial communities. In the polar regions, including Antarctica, airborne microbial communities are […]

Fast Contiguous Somatic Hypermutations for Single-Objective Optimisation and Multi-Objective Optimisation Via Decomposition
Read more of: Fast Contiguous Somatic Hypermutations for Single-Objective Optimisation and Multi-Objective Optimisation Via DecompositionSomatic Contiguous Hypermutations (CHM) are a popular variation operator used in artificial immune systems for optimisation tasks. Theoretical studies have shown that CHM operators can lead to considerable speed-ups in […]
