An annual profile of growth in the otoliths of immature Notothenia coriiceps Richardson in relation to the environment at Signy Island, Antarctica
Read more of: An annual profile of growth in the otoliths of immature Notothenia coriiceps Richardson in relation to the environment at Signy Island, AntarcticaScanning electron microscope and image analysis techniques were used to construct a profile of otolith growth from June 1987–June 1988 in immature Notothenia coriiceps. Growth was found to fluctuate seasonally […]

A simplified method for determining the gross chemical composition of pinniped milk samples
Read more of: A simplified method for determining the gross chemical composition of pinniped milk samplesRecent studies of lactation in wild mammals have emphasised the need for accurate information on milk composition, requiring the analysis of large numbers of samples. A simplified method for determining […]

Trends in entanglement of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) in man-made debris at South Georgia
Read more of: Trends in entanglement of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) in man-made debris at South GeorgiaA study conducted at South Georgia in 1988/1989 indicated that several thousand Antarctic fur seals were entangled mainly in man-made material originating from fishing vessels. Consequently, the authority responsible for […]

Temporal patterns of milk production in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
Read more of: Temporal patterns of milk production in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)The timing of milk production in Antarctic fur seals was studied at Bird Island, South Georgia. Like all lactating otariid seals (Pinnipedia: Otariidae), Antarctic fur seal females alternate between short […]

Inter- and intra-annual variation in milk composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
Read more of: Inter- and intra-annual variation in milk composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)The inter- and intra-annual variation in milk composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) was investigated over three consecutive lactation periods (1990-1992) at Bird Island, South Georgia, which included one […]

Indices of body condition and body composition in female Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)
Read more of: Indices of body condition and body composition in female Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)An attempt was made to develop simple, inexpensive, rapid means of determining body composition in Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella). Measurements of total body water (TBW) and total body lipid […]

Radiometric dating of lake sediments from Signy Island (maritime Antarctic): evidence of recent climatic change
Read more of: Radiometric dating of lake sediments from Signy Island (maritime Antarctic): evidence of recent climatic changeSediment cores from three lakes (Moss, Sombre and Heywood) in the maritime Antarctic (Signy Island, South Orkney Islands) have been successfully dated radiometrically by210Pb and137Cs. The core inventories of both […]

Mechanism for the behavior of hydroactive materials used in humidity sensors
Read more of: Mechanism for the behavior of hydroactive materials used in humidity sensorsThe theory of operation of humidity sensors has not been widely discussed in the literature. In particular, no convincing explanation has been given as to why they respond to relative […]
