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 […]

A comparison of Antarctic euphausiids sampled by net and from geothermally heated waters: insights into sampling bias
Read more of: A comparison of Antarctic euphausiids sampled by net and from geothermally heated waters: insights into sampling biasThe Antarctic euphausiids Euphausia superba and E. crystallorophias were sampled using an 8 m2 rectangular midwater trawl inside the caldera of Deception Island. Specimens of the same species were collected on […]

Late Jurassic tethyan ancestry of Recent southern high-latitude marine isopods (Crustacea, Malacostraca)
Read more of: Late Jurassic tethyan ancestry of Recent southern high-latitude marine isopods (Crustacea, Malacostraca)Isopods are one of the key marine groups that radiated extensively in the southern high-latitude regions, and it is widely assumed that they did so essentially through the Cenozoic era. […]

The shelf break front to the east of the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia
Read more of: The shelf break front to the east of the sub-Antarctic island of South GeorgiaThe sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia lies in polar waters to the south of the Polar Front and is influenced by the Weddell Scotia Confluence whose waters reach the island’s […]

Spatial dynamics of two introduced species of carabid beetles on the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia
Read more of: Spatial dynamics of two introduced species of carabid beetles on the sub-Antarctic island of South GeorgiaOn the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia two species of predatory beetle, Trechisibus antarcticus and Oopterus soledadinus (Coleoptera, Carabidae), were accidentally introduced. The colonisation process offers unique opportunities for testing […]

Heart rate and behaviour of fur seals: implications for measurement of field energetics
Read more of: Heart rate and behaviour of fur seals: implications for measurement of field energeticsArchival data loggers were used to collect information about depth, swimming speed, and heart rate in 23 free-ranging antarctic fur seals. Deployments averaged 9.6 ± 5.6 days (SD) and totaled […]

Heart rate and estimated energy expenditure of flapping and gliding in black-browed albatrosses
Read more of: Heart rate and estimated energy expenditure of flapping and gliding in black-browed albatrossesAlbatrosses are known to expend only a small amount of energy during flight. The low energy cost of albatross flight has been attributed to energy-efficient gliding (soaring) with sporadic flapping, […]

The links between large igneous provinces, continental break-up and environmental change: evidence reviewed from Antarctica
Read more of: The links between large igneous provinces, continental break-up and environmental change: evidence reviewed from AntarcticaEarth history is punctuated by events during which large volumes of predominantly mafic magmas were generated and emplaced by processes that are generally accepted as being, unrelated to ‘normal’ sea-floor […]

Retreat history of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet since the Last Glacial Maximum
Read more of: Retreat history of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet since the Last Glacial MaximumThe East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest continental ice mass on Earth, and documenting its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is important for understanding its present-day […]

Seabed topography beneath Larsen C Ice Shelf from seismic soundings
Read more of: Seabed topography beneath Larsen C Ice Shelf from seismic soundingsSeismic reflection soundings of ice thickness and seabed depth were acquired on the Larsen C Ice Shelf in order to test a sub-shelf bathymetry model derived from the inversion of […]

Transcriptome and peptidome characterisation of the main neuropeptides and peptidic hormones of a Euphausiid: the ice krill Euphausia crystallorophias
Read more of: Transcriptome and peptidome characterisation of the main neuropeptides and peptidic hormones of a Euphausiid: the ice krill Euphausia crystallorophiasBackground The Ice krill, Euphausia crystallorophias is one of the species at the base of the Southern Ocean food chain. Given their significant contribution to the biomass of the Southern […]
