Colonization of the Southern Hemisphere by Sagina and Colobanthus (Caryophyllaceae)
Read more of: Colonization of the Southern Hemisphere by Sagina and Colobanthus (Caryophyllaceae)Colobanthus (23 species) and Sagina (30–33 species) together are sister to Facchinia. Whereas Facchinia is distributed in western Eurasia, Colobanthus is almost exclusively distributed in the Southern Hemisphere, and Sagina […]

Antarctic krill likely avoid underwater gliders
Read more of: Antarctic krill likely avoid underwater glidersThe extent to which marine species avoid survey vessels is the subject of considerable debate, with stimuli such as noise and pressure waves receiving particular attention. By some estimates, avoidance […]

Statistical assessment of phenol biodegradation by a metal-tolerant binary consortium of indigenous Antarctic bacteria
Read more of: Statistical assessment of phenol biodegradation by a metal-tolerant binary consortium of indigenous Antarctic bacteriaSince the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, the continent has been pressurized by multiple anthropogenic activities, today including research and tourism, which have led to the emergence of phenol pollution. […]

The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset for boosting fungal diversity research
Read more of: The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset for boosting fungal diversity researchFungi are highly important biotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, but we still have a very limited understanding about their diversity and distribution. This data article releases a global soil fungal […]

Levels and seasonal trends of C1-C4 perfluoroalkyl acids and the discovery of trifluoromethane sulfonic acid in surface snow in the Arctic
Read more of: Levels and seasonal trends of C1-C4 perfluoroalkyl acids and the discovery of trifluoromethane sulfonic acid in surface snow in the ArcticC1–C4 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are highly persistent chemicals that have been found in the environment. To date, much uncertainty still exists about their sources and fate. The importance of the […]

Exploring the coupled ocean and atmosphere system with a data science approach applied to observations from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition
Read more of: Exploring the coupled ocean and atmosphere system with a data science approach applied to observations from the Antarctic Circumnavigation ExpeditionThe Southern Ocean is a critical component of Earth’s climate system, but its remoteness makes it challenging to develop a holistic understanding of its processes from the small scale to […]

Can a key boreal Calanus copepod species now complete its life-cycle in the Arctic? Evidence and implications for Arctic food-webs
Read more of: Can a key boreal Calanus copepod species now complete its life-cycle in the Arctic? Evidence and implications for Arctic food-websThe changing Arctic environment is affecting zooplankton that support its abundant wildlife. We examined how these changes are influencing a key zooplankton species, Calanus finmarchicus, principally found in the North […]

Evolutionary innovations in Antarctic brittle stars linked to glacial refugia
Read more of: Evolutionary innovations in Antarctic brittle stars linked to glacial refugiaThe drivers behind evolutionary innovations such as contrasting life histories and morphological change are central questions of evolutionary biology. However, the environmental and ecological contexts linked to evolutionary innovations are […]

Kinetic energy transfers between mesoscale and submesoscale motions in the open ocean’s upper layers
Read more of: Kinetic energy transfers between mesoscale and submesoscale motions in the open ocean’s upper layersMesoscale eddies contain the bulk of the ocean’s kinetic energy (KE), but fundamental questions remain on the cross-scale KE transfers linking eddy generation and dissipation. The role of submesoscale flows […]
