New assemblages of Radiolaria, including some of the few occurrences of high southern latitude Jurassic and Cretaceous radiolarian faunas, show that several localities in the LeMay Group of Alexander Island […]
Samples of male Illex argentinus were taken from the catch of a Japanese squid jigging vessel on the Patagonian Shelf during March 1986 and an analysis was carried out on […]
Previously, we reported on the discovery of fine structure in whistler data received on the ground at Halley, Antarctica. This structure was not apparent in conventional spectral analysis but was […]
Antarctic continental soils are arid, saline and lacking in organic matter, whereas maritime soils, in a wetter environment, range from structureless lithosols to frozen peat. Two important factors in the […]
Diapause larvae of the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubn.)) and the related Mediterranean noctuid Sesamia cretica Led. possess sufficient supercooling ability to avoid freezing over their normal environmental temperature […]
Snow Petrels (Pagodroma nivea) breed circurnpolarly in Antarctica. Watson et al. (1971), Harper et al. (1984) and Marchant & Higgins (1990) list breeding sites in the Ross Dependency (160°E-150°W) and […]
Data on reproductive biology are presented for five benthic caridean shrimps from the high Antarctic (Chorismus antarcticus, Notocrangon antarcticus, Nematocarcinus lanceopes, Lebbeus antarcticus and Eualus kinzeri). The first three species […]
The mineral nitrogen (NH4-N + NO3-N) in precipitation occurring at continental and maritime Antarctic sites has been determined. Precipitation at sites remote from animal activity contained much less mineral N […]
Retention of mineral elements in precipitation by mosses and lichens involving ion exchange and chelation mechanisms is a source of nutrients for these biota growing on rocks and nutrient poor […]
South Georgia is a highly glacierized island with a range of glacier types including corrie, valley and tidewater ice bodies. Glaciologically, it occupies a strategic location between South America and […]
