The fine structure of a cyanobacterial mat collected from the fellfield ecosystems of Signy Island, Antarctica, was examined using some novel light and scanning electron microscope techniques. The mat was […]
The bdelloid rotifers Philodina gregaria Murray and Adineta grandis Murray were both cultured through three generations. The results suggested the following models for calculation purposes: (1) that individual Adineta grandis […]
The roles of maternal age and experience, on the one hand, and individual, year and random effects on the other, in influencing avian egg-size and hatching success have been much […]
Seabirds of high latitudes in the North and South Atlantic (chiefly penguins, Procellariformes, alcids, shags, Gannet and Kittiwake) are compared (on absolute and energy-, mass- and time-specific scaled bases) in […]
The main changes in the distribution and abundance of marine top predators in the Antarctic in the last two centuries were caused by hum an over-exploitation. Hypotheses that increases in […]
Low level hydrocarbon contamination is measurable in the vicinity of Antarctic stations, N-alkane and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations in seawater and sediment at Signy Station, South Orkney Islands indicated […]
The Antarctic marine environment contains a range of hydrocarbons at low concentrations, which are generally biogenic in origin. All major classes of hydrocarbons have been found in the Antarctic ecosystem. […]
The Cretaceous period is often regarded as one of “greenhouse” warmth, with perhaps its acme occurring in the late Albian stage (100 Ma ago). However, it is now apparent that, […]
With the recent rapid increase in our knowledge of the palaeontological history of both polar regions it has become apparent that they should now be regarded as something more than […]
