Effects of brooding and broadcasting reproductive modes on the population genetic structure of two Antarctic gastropod molluscs
Read more of: Effects of brooding and broadcasting reproductive modes on the population genetic structure of two Antarctic gastropod molluscsLife-history characteristics exert a profound influence upon the population structure of many marine organisms. However, relatively few genetic studies have compared direct with indirect-developing species in the same ecosystem or […]

Economic value of improved quantification in global sources and sinks of carbon dioxide
Read more of: Economic value of improved quantification in global sources and sinks of carbon dioxideOn average, about 45 per cent of global annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions remain in the atmosphere, while the remainder are taken up by carbon reservoirs on land and […]

Potential mode of clutch size determination and follicle development in Eudyptes penguins
Read more of: Potential mode of clutch size determination and follicle development in Eudyptes penguinsIt has long been held that Eudyptes penguins will only ever develop a maximum of two mature yolky follicles to match their invariant two-egg clutch, an idea inferred largely from […]

Either taking it easy or feeling too tired: old Cory’s shearwaters display reduced activity levels while at sea
Read more of: Either taking it easy or feeling too tired: old Cory’s shearwaters display reduced activity levels while at seaIt has long been known that birds change their behaviour, reproductive performance and survival as they mature, including in the first few years after recruitment into the breeding population. However, […]

Conservation biogeography of the Antarctic
Read more of: Conservation biogeography of the AntarcticAim: To present a synthesis of past biogeographic analyses and a new approach based on spatially explicit biodiversity information for the Antarctic region to identify biologically distinct areas in need […]

Interpretation of polarimetric ice penetrating radar data over Antarctic ice shelves
Read more of: Interpretation of polarimetric ice penetrating radar data over Antarctic ice shelvesWe have collected ice penetrating polarimetric radar data on Brunt, George VI and Ronne ice shelves using a vector network analyser as a continuous wave (CW) step-frequency radar. Being a […]

Polarisation of radio waves transmitted through Brunt Ice Shelf
Read more of: Polarisation of radio waves transmitted through Brunt Ice ShelfThe polarisation behaviour of radar waves transmitted through Brunt Ice Shelf at a site near Halley has been investigated using a step-frequency radar with a centre frequency of 300 MHz […]

Direct measurements of ice-shelf bottom melting rates by phase sensitive radar
Read more of: Direct measurements of ice-shelf bottom melting rates by phase sensitive radarThis paper describes the novel technique of using a phase-sensitive radio-echo system to determine the basal melt rate along a short profile near Halley Station on the Brunt Ice Shelf. […]
