Half a degree additional warming, prognosis and projected impacts (HAPPI): background and experimental design
Read more of: Half a degree additional warming, prognosis and projected impacts (HAPPI): background and experimental designThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has accepted the invitation from the UNFCCC to provide a special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels […]

Low genetic variation between South American and Antarctic populations of the bank-forming moss Chorisodontium aciphyllum (Dicranaceae)
Read more of: Low genetic variation between South American and Antarctic populations of the bank-forming moss Chorisodontium aciphyllum (Dicranaceae)The Antarctic–South American bank-forming moss Chorisodontium aciphyllum is known for having the oldest sub-fossils of any extant plant in Antarctica as well as extreme survival abilities, making it a candidate […]

Characterisation of Pseudanabaena amphigranulata (Synechococcales) isolated from a man-made pond, Malaysia: A polyphasic approach
Read more of: Characterisation of Pseudanabaena amphigranulata (Synechococcales) isolated from a man-made pond, Malaysia: A polyphasic approachA filamentous benthic cyanobacteria strain isolated from a tropical man-made pond in Malaysia was characterised using combined phenotypic and genetic approaches. Morphological and ultrastructural observations were performed together with growth […]

Conservation implications of spatial genetic structure in two species of oribatid mites from the Antarctic Peninsula and the Scotia Arc
Read more of: Conservation implications of spatial genetic structure in two species of oribatid mites from the Antarctic Peninsula and the Scotia ArcMitochondrial and nuclear sequence data from two Antarctic ameronothroid mites, Halozetes belgicae and Alaskozetes antarcticus, were used to address three key questions important for understanding both the evolution of biodiversity […]

Global patterns of declining temperature variability from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene
Read more of: Global patterns of declining temperature variability from the Last Glacial Maximum to the HoloceneChanges in climate variability are as important for society to address as are changes in mean climate1. Contrasting temperature variability during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene can provide […]

The role of meltwater in high-latitude trough-mouth fan development: the Disko Trough-Mouth Fan, West Greenland
Read more of: The role of meltwater in high-latitude trough-mouth fan development: the Disko Trough-Mouth Fan, West GreenlandThe Disko Trough-Mouth Fan (TMF) is a major submarine sediment fan located along the central west Greenland continental margin offshore of Disko Trough. The location of the TMF at the […]

Projecting marine mammal distribution in a changing climate
Read more of: Projecting marine mammal distribution in a changing climateClimate-related shifts in marine mammal range and distribution have been observed in some populations; however, the nature and magnitude of future responses are uncertain in novel environments projected under climate […]

Biodiversity and biogeography of southern temperate and polar bryozoans
Read more of: Biodiversity and biogeography of southern temperate and polar bryozoansAim To describe the distribution of biodiversity and endemism of bryozoans in southern temperate and polar waters. We hypothesized that we would find: (1) no strong latitudinal richness gradient; (2) […]

Interactions between energetic electrons and realistic whistler mode waves in the Jovian magnetosphere
Read more of: Interactions between energetic electrons and realistic whistler mode waves in the Jovian magnetosphereThe role of plasma waves in shaping the intense Jovian radiation belts is not well understood. In this study we use a realistic wave model based on an extensive survey […]

Oceanographic Controls on the Variability of Ice-Shelf Basal Melting and Circulation of Glacial Meltwater in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, Antarctica
Read more of: Oceanographic Controls on the Variability of Ice-Shelf Basal Melting and Circulation of Glacial Meltwater in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, AntarcticaIce shelves in the Amundsen Sea Embayment have thinned, accelerating the seaward flow of ice sheets upstream over recent decades. This imbalance is caused by an increase in the ocean-driven […]

Pteropods counter mechanical damage and dissolution through extensive shell repair
Read more of: Pteropods counter mechanical damage and dissolution through extensive shell repairThe dissolution of the delicate shells of sea butterflies, or pteropods, has epitomised discussions regarding ecosystem vulnerability to ocean acidification over the last decade. However, a recent demonstration that the […]
