The Antarctic ice sheet is the main sink for atmospheric pollution reaching the Antarctic atmosphere from other continents. The ice preserves a historical record of the atmosphere that can be […]
We studied diving patterns and performance (dive depth, duration, frequency and organization during the foraging trip) in relation to diet in nonbreeding Gentoo Penguins (Pygoscelis papua) over 59 days (involving […]
1. Plasma concentrations of urea, uric acid and total lipid were compared in pre- and late-fast breeding and moulting macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) to test the hypothesis that birds exhaust […]
We present data on diving pattern and performance (dive depth, duration, frequency and organization during the foraging trip) in gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua, obtained using time-depth recorders (n= 9 birds, […]
Annual variation in return rate of breeding birds, mate and nest-site fidelity was studied in the resident Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) and migratory Macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) Penguin from 1986 to 1990 […]
Plasma levels of LH, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone were measured, during the breeding season, in adult and immature macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) penguins, at Bird Island, South […]
Changes in plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, oestradiol, and progesterone were measured throughout the breeding and molt cycle in free-living male and female macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) […]
Sulphide-bearing quartz veins were first observed on Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, at Henry Bluff in 1958 (Hobbs 1968). Subsequent mapping of the host Miers Bluff Formation (MBF) in western Hurd […]
The spiny plunder-fish, Harpagifer antarcticus, is a common shallow-water demersal species distributed along the southern limb of the Scotia Arc. A year round study was made of its reproductive biology […]
Major- and trace-element (XRF and INAA) and Nd-isotope analyses are presented on a Jurassic bimodal association of basic greenstones and silicic metavolcanic rocks from the Black Coast, northeast Palmer Land, […]
Syenogranites and monzogranites of Edward VII Peninsula, Marie Byrd Land, represent magmatism associated with continental rifting and the separation of New Zealand from W Antarctica in the mid-Cretaceous. These coarse-grained, […]
Length, sex and maturity stage of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba Dana occurring in discrete swarms were measured. Over a 14 d period 38 swarms were sampled in a small area […]
