1. Cold or drought – the lesser of two evils for terrestrial arthropods?

   Water is an essential part of all living organisms and terrestrial arthropods are no exception. They have to balance water loss and water gain to and from their bodies, often […]

2. Late Holocene palaeoclimatic records from lake sediments on James Ross Island, Antarctica

   Sediment profiles from several lakes/ponds in the northern, ice-free area of James Ross Island, Antarctica, were the subject of a multi-disciplinary palaeoenvironmental investigation. The results, obtained from lithological, geomagnetic, geochemical […]

3. Colonisation and development in encrusting communities from the Antarctic intertidal and sublittoral

   A total of 985 rocks with a wide range of surface areas were examined from six locations at Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic. The shallowest site was intertidal and […]

4. Competition in encrusting Antarctic bryozoan assemblages: outcomes, influences and implications

   Over 4000 bryozoan-bryozoan interactions were recorded from a total of 985 rocks from six locations at Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic. The majority of these interactions were interspecific ings. […]

5. Epibiota and attachment substrata of deep-water brachiopods from Antarctica and New Zealand

   Prevalence (proportion of host organisms covered) and cover of encrusting epibiota were investigated for four Antarctic and two New Zealand species of deep-sea brachiopods. All epibiota was identified to the […]

6. Some observations on the diet and distribution of Nudibranchs at Signy Island, Antarctica

   Observations were made on the diet and distribution of eight species of nudibranchs found in Borge Bay, Signy Island, Antarctica. Specimens from seven sites were examined in situ on four […]

8. Preliminary investigation of the thermal biosystem of Mount Rittmann fumaroles (northern Victoria Land, Antarctica)

   The biota and environment of fumarolic ground recently discovered near Mount Rittmann are described. Three patches (about 1 m2 each) of the moss Pohlia nutans were found in a minor […]

9. Wind-driven export of Weddell Sea slope water

   The export of waters from the Weddell Gyre to lower latitudes is an integral component of the southern subpolar contribution to the three-dimensional oceanic circulation. Here we use more than […]

11. New geophysical compilations link crustal block motion to Jurassic extension and strike-slip faulting in the Weddell Sea Rift System of West Antarctica

    Gondwana breakup changed the global continental configuration, leading to opening of major oceanic gateways, shifts in the climate system and significant impacts on the biosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere. Although of […]

12. Advection in polar and sub-polar environments: Impacts on high latitude marine ecosystems

    We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly between the north and south. Meridional circulation […]
