Heart rates and abdominal temperatures of free-ranging South Georgian shags, Phalacrocorax georgianus
Read more of: Heart rates and abdominal temperatures of free-ranging South Georgian shags, Phalacrocorax georgianusThe South Georgian shag (Phalacrocorax georgianus) shows a remarkable diving ability comparable to that of penguins, yet nothing is known of the physiology of these birds. In this study, heart […]

Temporal patterns of primary production in a large ultra-oligotrophic Antarctic freshwater lake
Read more of: Temporal patterns of primary production in a large ultra-oligotrophic Antarctic freshwater lakeA large ultra-oligotrophic Antarctic freshwater lake, Crooked Lake, was investigated between January 1993 and November 1993. The water column supported a small phytoplankton community limited by temperature, nutrient availability and, […]

HO2NO2 and HNO3 in the coastal Antarctic winter night: A “lab-in-the-field” experiment
Read more of: HO2NO2 and HNO3 in the coastal Antarctic winter night: A “lab-in-the-field” experimentObservations of peroxynitric acid (HO2NO2) and nitric acid (HNO3) were made during a 4 month period of Antarctic winter darkness at the coastal Antarctic research station, Halley. Mixing ratios of […]

Geochemistry of the 1100 Ma intrusive rocks from the Ahlmannryggen region, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Read more of: Geochemistry of the 1100 Ma intrusive rocks from the Ahlmannryggen region, Dronning Maud Land, AntarcticaThe recognition of a Mesoproterozoic large igneous province (LIP) across large parts of southern Africa has been strengthened by recent geochronology, geochemistry and petrology. The c. 1100 Ma Umkondo province […]

Regulation of Virus Neutralization and the Persistent Fraction by TRIM21
Read more of: Regulation of Virus Neutralization and the Persistent Fraction by TRIM21Despite a central role in immunity, antibody neutralization of virus infection is poorly understood. Here we show how the neutralization and persistence of adenovirus type 5, a prevalent nonenveloped human […]

Exploration of a simple model for ice ages
Read more of: Exploration of a simple model for ice agesWe argue that, while Milanković variations in solar radiation undoubtedly have a major influence on the timing of the Quaternary ice ages, they are partly incidental to their underlying causes. […]
