Soil arthropods as indicators of water stress in Antarctic terrestrial habitats?
Read more of: Soil arthropods as indicators of water stress in Antarctic terrestrial habitats?Abiotic features of Antarctic terrestrial habitats, particularly low temperatures and limited availability of liquid water, strongly influence the ecophysiology and life histories of resident biota. However, while temperature regimes of […]

Maritime Antarctic climate change: signals from terrestrial biology
Read more of: Maritime Antarctic climate change: signals from terrestrial biologyThe simplicity of maritime Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, combined with rapid changes in several environmental variables, creates a natural laboratory probably unparalleled worldwide in which to study biological consequences of climate […]

Long-term variation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave
Read more of: Long-term variation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave[1] During the period 1968-1999, the character of circum-Antarctic anomalies in sea level pressure, sea ice edge, and sea surface temperature changed substantially. An Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW) is only […]

The genus Grimpoteuthis (Octopoda: Grimpoteuthidae) in the north-east Atlantic, with descriptions of three new species
Read more of: The genus Grimpoteuthis (Octopoda: Grimpoteuthidae) in the north-east Atlantic, with descriptions of three new speciesThe systematics and distribution of the cirrate octopod genus Grimpoteuthis in the north-east Atlantic are reviewed. Three new species are described and Grimpoteuthis wuelkeri (Grimpe, 1920) is redescribed. A new […]

Measurements of microbial protection from ultraviolet radiation in polar terrestrial microhabitats
Read more of: Measurements of microbial protection from ultraviolet radiation in polar terrestrial microhabitatsBiological dosimeters made from a monolayer of Bacillus subtilis spores were used to investigate the penetration of ultraviolet radiation into some widespread terrestrial microbial microhabitats at polar latitudes: at Mars […]

The impact crater as a habitat: effects of impact processing of target materials
Read more of: The impact crater as a habitat: effects of impact processing of target materialsImpact structures are a rare habitat on Earth. However, where they do occur they can potentially have an important influence on the local ecology. Some of the types of habitat […]

Polar endoliths – an anti-correlation of climatic extremes and microbial diversity
Read more of: Polar endoliths – an anti-correlation of climatic extremes and microbial diversityWe examined the environmental stresses experienced by cyanobacteria living in endolithic gneissic habitats in the Haughton impact structure, Devon Island, Canadian High Arctic (75° N) and compared them with the […]

The human exploration of the Martian poles Part 1 – from early expeditions to a permanent station
Read more of: The human exploration of the Martian poles Part 1 – from early expeditions to a permanent stationThe establishment of a permanent human scientific presence at the Martian poles requires the identification of a strategy for growth, from localized field parties to a permanent polar infrastructure. Using […]
