1. Development, dispersal and recruitment: A paradox for survival among Antarctic fish

   At first sight, the life-history strategies adopted by Antarctic fish appear to be a paradox. The majority of fish species are demersal and inhabit the peri-Antarctic islands that are isolated, […]

2. Morphological and molecular characterization of salps (Thalia spp.) from the Tristan da Cunha archipelago

   The identification of salp species by morphological features alone can be challenging. This study combined morphological and molecular approaches to characterize different salp reproductive forms (oozooids and blastozooids) collected from […]

3. Deep ocean carbonate ion increase during mid Miocene CO2 decline

   Characterised by long term cooling and abrupt ice sheet expansion on Antarctica ~14 Ma ago, the mid Miocene marked the beginning of the modern ice-house world, yet there is still little […]

4. Spatial patterns in the vertical structure of euphausiids in Gullmarsfjord, Sweden: Identifying influences on bilayer formation and distribution

   The formation of two vertically discrete layers (bilayers) at night-time is a commonly observed phenomenon in zooplankton and is regularly found in Gullmarsfjord, a fjord with a 50 m sill […]

5. Size, shape and spatial arrangement of mega-scale glacial lineations, and implications for ice stream basal processes

   Mega-scale glacial lineations (MSGLs) are a characteristic landform on ice stream beds. Solving the puzzle of their formation is key to understanding how ice interacts with its bed and how […]

7. High-throughput sequencing reveals inbreeding depression in a natural population

   Proxy measures of genome-wide heterozygosity based on approximately 10 microsatellites have been used to uncover heterozygosity fitness correlations (HFCs) for a wealth of important fitness traits in natural populations. However, […]

8. Foraging range and habitat associations of non‑breeding Tristan albatrosses: overlap with fisheries and implications for conservation

   The Tristan albatross Diomedea dabbanena is Critically Endangered: >99% of adults breed at Gough Island, central South Atlantic Ocean, where chicks are threatened by introduced predators. At sea they mostly […]

9. Carry-over effects from breeding modulate the annual cycle of a long-distance migrant: an experimental demonstration

   Carry-over effects relate to events or processes that influence individual performance in a subsequent season, but their occurrence in the annual cycle of migratory avian taxa is seldom studied. We […]

10. Inferring ocean currents from the shapes of towed seismic streamers. Extended abstract

    When conducting marine seismic surveys, ocean currents noticeably perturb seismic streamers from their desired location. To accurately monitor a reservoir, the receivers in the streamers must be as close as […]

12. Revised assessment for Oceania humpbacks: survey design considerations and power analysis

    The Oceania population of humpback whales, comprising sub-stocks E2, E3, and F, was heavily depleted by whaling operations in the 20th century and is now classed as Endangered by the […]
