Movements, winter distribution and activity patterns of Falkland and brown skuas: insights from loggers and isotopes
Read more of: Movements, winter distribution and activity patterns of Falkland and brown skuas: insights from loggers and isotopesIn the first published study of the wintering ranges and activity patterns of skuas from any colony, we combined tracking (geolocator) and stable isotope analysis in a comparison of migration […]

Foraging behaviour of four albatross species by night and day
Read more of: Foraging behaviour of four albatross species by night and dayWe integrated information from satellite transmitters, GPS loggers and wet/dry activity loggers to compare the at-sea behaviour of 4 sympatric albatross species by night and day: wandering Diomedea exulans, grey-headed […]

Very slow development in two Antarctic bivalve molluscs, the infaunal clam Laternula elliptica and the scallop Adamussium colbecki
Read more of: Very slow development in two Antarctic bivalve molluscs, the infaunal clam Laternula elliptica and the scallop Adamussium colbeckiEmbryos of the large infaunal clam Laternula elliptica and the scallop Adamussium colbecki, from Antarctica, were cultured over an 18-month period. Their development rates were extremely slow, taking 240 and […]

Thermal limits of burrowing capacity are linked to oxygen availability and size in the Antarctic clam Laternula elliptica
Read more of: Thermal limits of burrowing capacity are linked to oxygen availability and size in the Antarctic clam Laternula ellipticaAnimal responses to changing environments are most commonly studied in relation to temperature change. The current paradigm for marine ectotherms is that temperature limits are set through oxygen limitation. Oxygen […]

First evidence for a bipolar distribution of dominant freshwater lake bacterioplankton
Read more of: First evidence for a bipolar distribution of dominant freshwater lake bacterioplanktonAs a result of the recent application of DNA based technology to the investigation of maritime Antarctic freshwater lakes, patterns have begun to emerge in the bacterioplankton communities that dominate […]

Influence of a non-uniform velocity field on isochrone geometry along a steady flowline of an ice sheet
Read more of: Influence of a non-uniform velocity field on isochrone geometry along a steady flowline of an ice sheetThe relationship between velocity field and isochrone geometry along a steady flowline of an ice sheet is examined. The method is analytical and based upon the stream function and its […]

New compilation of the Amundsen Sea continental shelf bathymetry
Read more of: New compilation of the Amundsen Sea continental shelf bathymetryThe Amundsen Sea continental shelf is one of the remotest areas of coastal Antarctica, and was relatively unexplored until the 1980s. Over the last two decades, however, oceanographic and geological […]
