Polar gigantism dictated by oxygen availability
The tendency of some animals to be larger at higher latitudes (‘polar gigantism’) has not been explained, although it has often been attributed to low temperature and metabolism1. Investigation of […]

Temporal plankton dynamics in a maritime Antarctic Lake
Read more of: Temporal plankton dynamics in a maritime Antarctic LakeChanges in abundance, diversity and productivity of plankton in a maritime Antarctic lake were studied between December 1994 and February 1996. There were large intra- and inter-annual fluctuations in population […]

Seasonal dynamics of the planktonic microbial community in a maritime Antarctic lake undergoing eutrophication
Read more of: Seasonal dynamics of the planktonic microbial community in a maritime Antarctic lake undergoing eutrophicationThe abundance, biomass and community structure of phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and protozooplankton in a maritime Antarctic lake were determined at approximately monthly intervals from December 1994 to February 1996 and compared […]

Fatty acid signature analysis from the milk of Antarctic fur seals and Southern elephant seals from South Georgia:implications for diet determination
Read more of: Fatty acid signature analysis from the milk of Antarctic fur seals and Southern elephant seals from South Georgia:implications for diet determinationFatty acid signature analysis (FASA) makes use of specific fatty acids, as well as entire profiles, to study dietary relationships at different trophic levels. Previously, FASA has been used in […]

Geochronology, structural geology and petrology of the northwestern Lagrange Nunataks, Shackleton Range, Antarctica
Read more of: Geochronology, structural geology and petrology of the northwestern Lagrange Nunataks, Shackleton Range, AntarcticaThe metamorphic rocks of the La Grange Nunataks, northwestern Shackleton Range, have a complex structural and metamorphic history, involving Mid-Proterozoic and Ross- (Cambro-Ordovician) aged events. The protolith of the Stratton […]

Acoustic estimates of krill density at South Georgia, 1981 to 1998
Read more of: Acoustic estimates of krill density at South Georgia, 1981 to 1998Acoustic estimates of densities of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, at South Georgia during 11 austral summers between 1981 and 1998 are presented. Krill density at the island fluctuated widely from […]

An analysis of temporal variability in abundance, diversity and growth rates within the coastal ichthyoplankton assemblage of South Georgia (sub-Antarctic)
Read more of: An analysis of temporal variability in abundance, diversity and growth rates within the coastal ichthyoplankton assemblage of South Georgia (sub-Antarctic)The study of spatial and temporal distribution and diversity of ichthyoplankton (fish eggs and larvae) can provide fisheries-independent information on the population dynamics and recruitment processes of marine fish species.

Potential for long-distance dispersal of Euphausia crystallorophias in fast current jets
Read more of: Potential for long-distance dispersal of Euphausia crystallorophias in fast current jetsThe euphausiid Euphausia crystallorophias Holt and Tattersall, 1906 is considered to be a neritic species. It has been found in greatest abundance along the Antarctic continental margins, often in association […]
