1. Recent Antarctic Peninsula warming relative to Holocene climate and ice shelf history

   Rapid warming over the past 50 years on the Antarctic Peninsula is associated with the collapse of a number of ice shelves and accelerating glacier mass loss1, 2, 3, 4, 5, […]

2. Basal and field metabolic rates of Streaked Shearwater during the chick-rearing period

   The energetics of adult Streaked Shearwaters Calonectris leucomelas during the chick-rearing period were examined on Awa Island, Japan, in 2008 and 2009. Basal metabolic rates (BMR) were quantified using an […]

3. Palynomorph and ostracod biostratigraphy of the Ballagan Formation, Midland Valley of Scotland and elucidation of intra-Dinantian unconformities

   An interdisciplinary biostratigraphical study of Tournaisian–early Viséan sedimentary rocks from six sections in central Scotland has established the ranges of important palynomorph and ostracod taxa that can be used to […]

4. Snow moulds in polar environments

   Snow moulds are fungi and fungal-like microbes that occur frequently as pathogens of moss and vascular plant species in the Arctic and Antarctic, chiefly in maritime areas with permanent snow […]

6. Soil fungal community composition does not alter along a latitudinal gradient through the maritime and sub-Antarctic

   We investigated the relationships between fungal community composition, latitude and a range of physicochemical parameters in 58 soils sampled from a 2370 km latitudinal gradient between South Georgia (54°S, 38°W) […]

7. The influence of eddy parameterizations on the transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in coupled climate models

   The transport of the AntarcticCircumpolarCurrent (ACC) varies strongly across the coupled GCMs (general circulation models) used for the IPCC AR4. This note shows that a large fraction of this across-model […]

8. Comparing Bongo net and N70 mesozooplankton catches: using a reconstruction of an original net to quantify historical plankton catch data

   If Southern Ocean plankton communities are changing in response to climate, biases in various nets need to be evaluated to help understand regional and temporal differences between historical and contemporary […]

9. Influence of allochtonous nutrients delivered by colonial seabirds on soil collembolan communities on Spitsbergen

   Despite a widespread recognition of the role of seabird colonies in the fertilization of nutrient-poor polar terrestrial ecosystems, qualitative and quantitative data documenting any consequential influence on soil invertebrate communities […]

10. Nonlinear trends, long-range dependence and climate noise properties of surface temperature

    This study investigates the significance of trends of four temperature time series—Central England Temperature (CET), Stockholm, Faraday-Vernadsky, and Alert. First the robustness and accuracy of various trend detection methods are […]

12. Primary succession of lichen and bryophyte communities following glacial recession on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, Maritime Antarctic

    A directional primary succession with moderate species replacement was quantitatively characterized on Signy Island in zones of a glacial valley corresponding to their age since deglaciation. A continuous increase in […]
