Rafting in Antarctic Collembola
Darwin was an early exponent of the importance of ‘occasional means of dispersal’ in accounting for the present-day distribution of plants and animals. This study examined the implications of capture […]

Gyroresonant interactions between the radiation belt electrons and whistler mode chorus waves in the radiation environments of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn: A comparative study
Read more of: Gyroresonant interactions between the radiation belt electrons and whistler mode chorus waves in the radiation environments of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn: A comparative studyIn the current study we perform a comparative analysis of the gyroresonant interactions of whistler mode waves with radiation belt electrons in the magnetospheres of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn. Our […]

Greenland ice sheet contribution to sea-level rise from a new-generation ice-sheet model
Read more of: Greenland ice sheet contribution to sea-level rise from a new-generation ice-sheet modelOver the last two decades, the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass at an increasing rate, enhancing its contribution to sea-level rise (SLR). The recent increases in ice […]

Higher precision estimates of regional polar warming by ensemble regression of climate model projections
Read more of: Higher precision estimates of regional polar warming by ensemble regression of climate model projectionsThis study presents projections of twenty-first century wintertime surface temperature changes over the high-latitude regions based on the third Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP3) multi-model ensemble. The state-dependence of the […]

Possible dynamical mechanisms for Southern Hemisphere climate change due to the ozone hole
Read more of: Possible dynamical mechanisms for Southern Hemisphere climate change due to the ozone holeThe authors report a hypothesis for the dynamical mechanisms responsible for the strengthening of the Southern Hemisphere circumpolar winds from the lower stratosphere to the surface due to the ozone […]

The justification, design and implementation of Ecological Risk Assessments of the effects of fishing on seabirds
Read more of: The justification, design and implementation of Ecological Risk Assessments of the effects of fishing on seabirdsMany marine species are threatened by high levels of incidental mortality in fisheries. This paper reviews the design of selected recent, detailed Ecological Risk Assessments (ERAs) of the effects of […]

Flexural controls on late Neogene basin evolution in southern McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
Read more of: Flexural controls on late Neogene basin evolution in southern McMurdo Sound, AntarcticaThe basins of southern McMurdo Sound have evolved under the influence of lithospheric flexure induced by the loads of the Erebus Volcanic Province. To characterise these basins, it is important […]

Unusual Southern Hemisphere tree growth patterns induced by changes in the Southern Annular Mode
Read more of: Unusual Southern Hemisphere tree growth patterns induced by changes in the Southern Annular ModeRecent changes in the summer climate of the Southern Hemisphere extra-tropics are primarily related to the dominance of the positive phase of the Southern Annular Mode. This shift in the […]

Testing the metabolic theory of ecology
Read more of: Testing the metabolic theory of ecologyThe metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts the effects of body size and temperature on metabolism through considerations of vascular distribution networks and biochemical kinetics. MTE has also been extended […]
