1. The role of particle associated microbes in remineralisation of faecal pellets in the upper mesopelagic of the Scotia Sea, Antarctica

   Fecal pellets (FP) are a key component of the biological carbon pump, as they can, under some circumstances, efficiently transfer carbon to depth. Like other forms of particulate organic carbon […]

2. Archibald Lang McLean (1885-1922) – Explorer, writer and soldier

   Archibald McLean qualified in Sydney in 1910 and in the following year joined Douglas Mawson’s Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–1914). He took a full part in the expedition and was forced […]

3. Combining stable hydrogen (δ2H) isotopes and geolocation to assign Scaly-sided Mergansers to moult river catchments

   Scaly-sided Mergansers Mergus squamatus breed on freshwater rivers in Far East Russia, Korea, and China, wintering on similar habitat in China and Korea, but information on their post-breeding moulting habitats […]

4. The significance of cephalopod beaks in marine ecology studies: Can we use beaks for DNA analyses and mercury contamination assessment?

   Cephalopod beaks found in the diet of predators have been a major source of scientific information. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of DNA and contaminants analysis (total mercury […]

5. The Paleocene of Antarctica: dinoflagellate cyst biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and implications for the palaeo-Pacific margin of Gondwana

   The Paleocene (66–56 Ma) was a critical time interval for understanding recovery from mass extinction in high palaeolatitudes when global climate was warmer than today. A unique sedimentary succession from […]

6. Feedbacks on climate in the Earth system: introduction

   In the last century, the Earth has undergone a very fast and unusual change in the radiative forcing of its climate, resulting from human actions. This change in forcing has […]

7. Why is the South Orkney Island shelf (the world’s first high seas marine protected area) a carbon immobilization hotspot?

   The Southern Ocean archipelago, the South Orkney Islands (SOI), became the world’s first entirely high seas marine protected area (MPA) in 2010. The SOI continental shelf (~44 000 km2), was […]

8. A draft fur seal genome provides insights into factors affecting SNP validation and how to mitigate them

   Custom genotyping arrays provide a flexible and accurate means of genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a large number of individuals of essentially any organism. However, validation rates, defined as […]

9. Experimental design for three interrelated marine ice-sheet and ocean model intercomparison projects: MISMIP v. 3 (MISMIP+), ISOMIP v. 2 (ISOMIP+) and MISOMIP v. 1 (MISOMIP1)

   Coupled ice sheet-ocean models capable of simulating moving grounding lines are just becoming available. Such models have a broad range of potential applications in studying the dynamics of marine ice […]

10. Population size and trends of southern giant petrels (Macronectes giganteus) nesting at Signy Island, South Orkney Islands

    The southern giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus) has a circumpolar distribution and breeds on subantarctic islands and a few continental Antarctic sites. Although this species has recently been down-listed to “Least […]

11. Outer organic layer and internal repair mechanism protects pteropod Limacina helicina from ocean acidification

    Scarred shells of polar pteropod Limacina helicina collected from the Greenland Sea in June 2012 reveal a history of damage, most likely failed predation, in earlier life stages. Evidence of […]

12. A horizon scan of global conservation issues for 2016

    This paper presents the results of our seventh annual horizon scan, in which we aimed to identify issues that could have substantial effects on global biological diversity in the future, […]
