1. Extensive colonization of volcanic ash by an unusual form of Peltigera didactyla at Deception Island, maritime Antarctic

   Peltigera didactyla (With.) J. R. Laundon has a cosmopolitan distribution, but in the Antarctic it is very restricted and is nowhere common or abundant, occurring at a number of sites […]

2. The thermophilic bryoflora of Deception Island: unique plant communities as a criterion for designating an Antarctic Specially Protected Area

   Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands is one of the most volcanically active sites south of 60°S. Between 1967 and 1970 three major eruptions devastated large expanses of the […]

3. Evidence of late Quaternary environmental change in a continental east Antarctic lake from lacustrine sedimentary pigment distributions

   A sediment core from Progress Lake, one of the oldest lacustrine sequences in East Antarctica, contains distinct zones dating from a previous interglacial (most likely Marine Isotope Stage 5e, c. […]

4. Low temperature bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil using biostimulation and bioaugmentation with a Pseudomonas sp. from maritime Antarctica

   Aims: To identify native Antarctic bacteria capable of oil degradation at low temperatures. Methods and Results: Oil contaminated and pristine soils from Signy Island (South Orkney Islands, Antarctica) were examined […]

5. Investigating the use of milk fatty acids to detect dietary changes: a comparison with faecal analysis in Antarctic fur seals

   We compared the use of fatty acid signature analysis with results from traditional faecal methods using milk samples and enemas concurrently collected from 8 female Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella […]

6. Genetic population structure in the black-spot sea bream (Pagellus bogaraveo Brünnich, 1768) from the NE Atlantic

   The depletion of shallow-water fish stocks through overexploitation has led to increasing fishing pressure on deep-sea species. Poor knowledge of the biology of commercially valuable deep-water fish has led to […]

7. On the origin of Antarctic marine benthic community structure

   Environmental conditions fostering marine communities around Antarctica differ fundamentally from those in the rest of the world’s oceans, particularly in terms of pronounced climatic fluctuations and extreme cold. Here, we […]

9. The role of Antarctica in the development of plate tectonic theories: from Scott to the present

   One hundred years of geological research in and around Antarctica since Scott’s Discovery expedition of 1901-1904 have seen the continent move from a great unknown at the margins of human […]

10. Annual variation in diets, feeding locations and foraging behaviour of gannets in the North Sea: flexibility, consistency and constraint

    Many seabirds nesting in areas bordering the North Sea have recently experienced large annual variation in breeding success, including reproductive failures in some cases. In contrast, the breeding success of […]

11. Large solar flares and their ionospheric D region enhancements

    On 4 November 2003, the largest solar flare ever recorded saturated the GOES satellite X-ray detectors, making an assessment of its size difficult. However, VLF radio phase advances effectively recorded […]

12. Timescale for MeV electron microburst loss during geomagnetic storms

    Energetic electrons in the outer radiation belt can resonate with intense bursts of whistler-mode chorus emission leading to microburst precipitation into the atmosphere. The timescale for removal of outer zone […]
