2. Physiological progenesis in cephalopod molluscs

   The coleoid cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid and octopus) arose from their shelled ancestors during the late Devonian; they diversified in the Jurassic but did not radiate substantially until the Tertiary. Since […]

3. Polar patches – outstanding issues

   Historically, the term polar patch was used to describe isolated regions of enhanced 630 nm emission observed in the polar cap. In recent years, signatures from other instruments, such as […]

4. Ionospheric signatures of magnetopause pocesses

   Whilst it is well-accepted that short-duration changes to the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) and solar wind cause high-latitude ionospheric transients observed by magnetic, optical and radar techniques, a coherent explanation […]

5. The age of the base of the Gustav Group in the James Ross Basin, Antarctica

   The Lagrelius Point Formation from its type area in north-west James Ross Island, Antarctica has yielded dinoflagellate cysts indicative of an earliest Aptian age. Reworked palynomorphs presumed to be from […]

7. Determining the sex of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba using carapace measurements

   A discriminant function using simple carapace measurements corretly determined the sex of 87% of male and 89% of female Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. This facilitated the use of sex-specific regression […]

9. The Pampean Orogeny of the southern proto-Andes: Cambrian continental collision in the Sierras de Cordoba

   A detailed study of the pre-Silurian geology of the Sierras de Córdoba, Eastern Sierras Pampeanas, is used to define the sequence of magmatic and metamorphic events during the Pampean orogeny. […]

10. Early evolution of the Proto-Andean margin of South America

    From a detailed study of a 500 km transect in the Sierras Pampeanas, central-west Argentina, two pre-Silurian tectono-magmatic episodes are recognized and defined, each culminating in micro-continental collisions against the […]

11. Ice shelf/ocean interactions under the Amery Ice Shelf: seasonal variability and its effect on marine ice formation

    Marine ice is an important factor in ice shelf stability. An extensive marine ice layer is present under the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS), East Antarctica. This paper documents observations on […]

12. A horizon scan of global conservation issues for 2014

    This paper presents the output of our fifth annual horizon-scanning exercise, which aims to identify topics that increasingly may affect conservation of biological diversity, but have yet to be widely […]
