Using telemetry data and the sea ice satellite record to identify vulnerabilities in critical moult habitat for emperor penguins in West Antarctica
Read more of: Using telemetry data and the sea ice satellite record to identify vulnerabilities in critical moult habitat for emperor penguins in West AntarcticaWe tracked adult emperor penguins from Rothschild Island, west Antarctic Peninsula in 2015/2016 during a summer with extensive sea ice of long duration, contrasting with past years of reduced sea […]

Chapter 22: Recent Advances in the Application of Microalgae-based Bioremediation of Pharmaceutical Waste
Read more of: Chapter 22: Recent Advances in the Application of Microalgae-based Bioremediation of Pharmaceutical WastePharmaceuticals are therapeutic drugs used to treat or prevent human or animal diseases. The incomplete breakdown of these drugs in the body can lead to their release into the environment […]

Elemental composition of smectite minerals in continental rise sediments from the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica, as a tool to identify detrital input from various sources throughout late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles
Read more of: Elemental composition of smectite minerals in continental rise sediments from the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica, as a tool to identify detrital input from various sources throughout late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cyclesDetrital smectite is a ubiquitous clay mineral in marine sediments and has a variable total Fe, Al, and Mg composition depending on the source, i.e., bedrock or unconsolidated sedimentary strata, […]

Even-Order Harmonic Distortion Observations During Multiple Geomagnetic Disturbances: Investigation From New Zealand
Read more of: Even-Order Harmonic Distortion Observations During Multiple Geomagnetic Disturbances: Investigation From New ZealandLarge geomagnetic storms are a space weather hazard to power transmission networks due to the effects of Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs). GIC can negatively impact power transmission systems through the […]

Biogeographical and seasonal distribution of pteropod populations in the Western and Central Mediterranean Sea inferred from sediment traps
Read more of: Biogeographical and seasonal distribution of pteropod populations in the Western and Central Mediterranean Sea inferred from sediment trapsPteropods are a group of cosmopolitan holoplanktic gastropods that produce an aragonite shell and play an important role in both marine ecosystems and geochemical cycles. In addition to being affected […]

A 6 year assessment of low sea-ice impacts on emperor penguins [Short Note]
Read more of: A 6 year assessment of low sea-ice impacts on emperor penguins [Short Note]Sea ice, and particularly land-fast sea ice, is crucial for emperor penguins as a breeding and moulting platform and foraging habitat (Barbraud & Weimerskirch 2001). Emperor penguins use land-fast sea […]

Pathogenic potential of an environmental Aspergillus fumigatus strain recovered from soil of Pygoscelis papua (Gentoo Penguins) colony in Antarctica
Read more of: Pathogenic potential of an environmental Aspergillus fumigatus strain recovered from soil of Pygoscelis papua (Gentoo Penguins) colony in AntarcticaAspergillus fumigatus is a common opportunistic pathogen in different animals, including birds such as penguins. For the first time, a fungal strain identified as A. fumigatus was isolated from soil […]

The genome sequence of the marbled rockcod, Notothenia rossii Richardson, 1844 [Data Note]
Read more of: The genome sequence of the marbled rockcod, Notothenia rossii Richardson, 1844 [Data Note]We present a genome assembly from an individual Notothenia rossii (the marbled rockcod; Chordata; Actinopterygii; Perciformes; Nototheniidae). The genome sequence is 1,042.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is […]

Modeling Field Line Curvature Scattering Loss of 1–10 MeV Protons During Geomagnetic Storms
Read more of: Modeling Field Line Curvature Scattering Loss of 1–10 MeV Protons During Geomagnetic StormsThe proton radiation belt contains high fluxes of adiabatically trapped protons varying in energy from ∼one to hundreds of megaelectron volts (MeV). At large radial distances, magnetospheric field lines become […]

Adapting the Marine Stewardship Council risk-based framework to estimate impacts on seabirds, marine mammals, marine turtles and sea snakes
Read more of: Adapting the Marine Stewardship Council risk-based framework to estimate impacts on seabirds, marine mammals, marine turtles and sea snakesInformation available on impacts of fisheries on target or bycatch species varies greatly, requiring development of risk assessment tools to determine potentially unacceptable levels. Seabirds, marine mammals, marine turtles and […]
