Multi-decadal survival of an Antarctic nematode, Plectus murrayi, in a -20C degree stored moss sample
Read more of: Multi-decadal survival of an Antarctic nematode, Plectus murrayi, in a -20C degree stored moss sampleIt is not clear for how long Antarctic soil nematodes might tolerate freezing. Samples of the Antarctic moss, Bryum argenteum, were collected on 1 October 1983 at Langhovde, Soya coast, […]

The physical properties of lipids and their role in controlling the distribution of zooplankton in the oceans
Read more of: The physical properties of lipids and their role in controlling the distribution of zooplankton in the oceansA new perspective on the role of lipids in zooplankton is proposed, with solid–liquid phase transitions of lipids being a factor regulating their buoyancy. These phase transitions are controlled by […]

Responses of Antarctic pack-ice seals to environmental change and increasing krill fishing
Read more of: Responses of Antarctic pack-ice seals to environmental change and increasing krill fishingThe compound effects of changing habitats, ecosystem interactions, and fishing practices have implications for the management of Antarctic krill and conservation of its predators. For Antarctic pack-ice seals, an important […]

Winter distribution and haul-out behaviour of female Antarctic fur seals from South Georgia
Read more of: Winter distribution and haul-out behaviour of female Antarctic fur seals from South GeorgiaTelemetry-based techniques have revealed the foraging patterns of many land breeding marine predators, especially during the summer breeding season. However, during the winter, when freed from the constraints of provisioning […]
