Experimental studies of ice nucleation in an Antarctic springtail (Collembola, Isotomidae)
Read more of: Experimental studies of ice nucleation in an Antarctic springtail (Collembola, Isotomidae)Ice nucleation was studied in field-fresh and acclimated (4°C without food for 11–20 days) samples of the springtail Cryptopygus antarcticus Willem (Collembola, Isotomidae) at Rothera Research Station, Adelaide Island on […]

Seasonal and long-term variation in body-water content of an Antarctic springtail – a response to climate change?
Read more of: Seasonal and long-term variation in body-water content of an Antarctic springtail – a response to climate change?Body-water content of field-fresh samples of the springtail, Cryptopygus antarcticus Willem (Collembola, Isotomidae) was measured at monthly intervals over 11 years (1984–1995) at Signy Island, in the maritime Antarctic. A […]

Provisioning rate and attendance patterns of wandering albatrosses at Bird Island, South Georgia
Read more of: Provisioning rate and attendance patterns of wandering albatrosses at Bird Island, South GeorgiaWe investigated foraging behavior of Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) breeding at South Georgia to assess how sex and season-specific foraging patterns relate to provisioning performance. We estimated Wandering Albatross chicks […]

Initial observations of mesospheric winds using IDI radar measurements at the Bear Lake Observatory
Read more of: Initial observations of mesospheric winds using IDI radar measurements at the Bear Lake ObservatoryThe adaptation of Imaging Doppler Interferometry (IDI) to the dynasonde deployed at the Bear Lake Observatory (41.9°N, 111.4°W) in northeastern Utah enables the routine measurement of mesospheric dynamics. Influenced by […]

Annual variation in great skua diets: the importance of commercial fisheries and predation on seabirds revealed by combining dietary analyses
Read more of: Annual variation in great skua diets: the importance of commercial fisheries and predation on seabirds revealed by combining dietary analysesThis study combines conventional dietary assessment with stable isotope techniques to describe Great Skua (Stercorarius skua) diet. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios in feathers of Great Skua chicks collected […]

Experimental studies on cold survival of enchytraeid cocoons
Read more of: Experimental studies on cold survival of enchytraeid cocoonsThe effect of different culture methods, cold acclimation and desiccation on the supercooling point (SCP), the melting point (MP) of fluids and the quantity of water freezing (osmotically active water) […]

Scotia Sea regional tectonic evolution: implications for mantle flow and palaeocirculation
Read more of: Scotia Sea regional tectonic evolution: implications for mantle flow and palaeocirculationThe ScotiaSea and surrounding Scotia Arc have evolved over the past 40 Ma, by extension behind an east-migrating subduction zone, at the boundary between the South American (SAM) and Antarctic […]

Evolution of the Scotia Sea region: relevance to broad-band seismology
Read more of: Evolution of the Scotia Sea region: relevance to broad-band seismologyThis paper reports briefly an attempt to examine the tectonic evolution of the Scotia Sea region, in the context of the use of broad-band seismological techniques there. Such techniques can […]
