Activity and dormancy in relation to body water and cold tolerance in a winter-active springtail (Collembola)
Read more of: Activity and dormancy in relation to body water and cold tolerance in a winter-active springtail (Collembola)Ceratophysella sigillata (Collembola, Hypogastruridae) has a life cycle which may extend for >2 years in a temperate climate. It exists in two main morphs, a winter-active morph and a summer-dormant […]

Water status and thermal analysis of alginate beads used in cryopreservation of plant germplasm
Read more of: Water status and thermal analysis of alginate beads used in cryopreservation of plant germplasmEncapsulation and dehydration techniques using alginate beads are used increasingly for the pre-treatment of various plant materials for cryopreservation to improve survival post-cryogenic storage. This study reports the effects of […]

Water or ice? – the challenge for invertebrate cold survival
Read more of: Water or ice? – the challenge for invertebrate cold survivalThe ecophysiology of cold tolerance in many terrestrial invertebrate animals is based on water and its activity at low temperatures, affecting cell, tissue and whole organism functions. The normal body […]

Halley – at the edge of ice-station design
Read more of: Halley – at the edge of ice-station designHalley the 50-year-old Antarctic survey station where the hole in the ozone layer was discovered, is by necessity in one of the most inhospitable parts of the earth. Its resident […]

Ionosphere dynamics over Europe and western Asia during magnetospheric substorms 1998-99
Read more of: Ionosphere dynamics over Europe and western Asia during magnetospheric substorms 1998-99The temporal and spatial behaviour of the ionospheric parameters foF2 and h’F during isolated substorms are examined using data from ionospheric stations distributed across Europe and western Asia. The main […]

Effect of disturbance on assemblages: an example using Porifera
Read more of: Effect of disturbance on assemblages: an example using PoriferaExtensive sponge assemblages are found in a number of habitats at Lough Hyne Marine Nature Reserve. These habitats are unusual in experiencing a range of environmental conditions, even though they […]

SEM studies of the morphology and chemistry of polar ice
Read more of: SEM studies of the morphology and chemistry of polar iceDetermining the microphysical location of impurities in natural ice from the polar regions is necessary for understanding the physical properties of ice and for assuring the integrity of ice core […]

Evolution of chemical peak shapes in the Dome C, Antarctica, ice core
Read more of: Evolution of chemical peak shapes in the Dome C, Antarctica, ice core[1] Interpretation of the chemical layers measured in ice cores requires knowledge of processes occurring after their deposition on the ice sheet. We present evidence for the diffusion of soluble […]
