Respiration Studies on the Antarctic Collembolan Cryptopygus antarcticus
Read more of: Respiration Studies on the Antarctic Collembolan Cryptopygus antarcticusAnalyses are presented of 190 measurements of individual respiration rate for the complete size range of Cryptopygus antarcticus Willem. A Cartesian Diver micro-respirometer was used at Signy Island (Maritime Antarctic) […]

High foraging site fidelity and spatial segregation among individual great black‐backed gulls
Read more of: High foraging site fidelity and spatial segregation among individual great black‐backed gullsIndividual foraging site fidelity, whereby individuals repeatedly visit the same foraging areas, is widespread in nature, and likely benefits individuals through higher foraging efficiency and potentially, higher breeding success. It […]

West Antarctic surface melt triggered by atmospheric rivers
Read more of: West Antarctic surface melt triggered by atmospheric riversRecent major melting events in West Antarctica have raised concerns about a potential hydrofracturing and ice shelf instability. These events often share common forcings of surface melt-like anomalous radiative fluxes, […]

Southern Ocean wind stress in CMIP5 models: Role of wind fluctuations
Read more of: Southern Ocean wind stress in CMIP5 models: Role of wind fluctuationsThe Southern Ocean (SO) surface wind stress is a major atmospheric forcing for driving the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the global overturning circulation. Here the effects of wind fluctuations at […]

Magmatism of the Weddell Sea rift system in Antarctica: Implications for the age and mechanism of rifting and early stage Gondwana breakup
Read more of: Magmatism of the Weddell Sea rift system in Antarctica: Implications for the age and mechanism of rifting and early stage Gondwana breakupThick (∼800 m) basaltic successions from the eastern Antarctic Peninsula have been dated in the interval 180 – 177 Ma and preserve a transition from a continental margin arc to […]

Nodosilinea signiensis sp. nov. (Leptolyngbyaceae, Synechococcales), a new terrestrial cyanobacterium isolated from mats collected on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, Antarctica
Read more of: Nodosilinea signiensis sp. nov. (Leptolyngbyaceae, Synechococcales), a new terrestrial cyanobacterium isolated from mats collected on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, AntarcticaTerrestrial cyanobacteria are very diverse and widely distributed in Antarctica, where they can form macroscopically visible biofilms on the surfaces of soils and rocks, and on benthic surfaces in fresh […]

Extremes in benthic ecosystem services; Blue carbon natural capital shallower than 1000 m in isolated, small and young Ascension Island’s EEZ
Read more of: Extremes in benthic ecosystem services; Blue carbon natural capital shallower than 1000 m in isolated, small and young Ascension Island’s EEZBiodiversity tends to decrease with increasing isolation and reduced habitat size, and increase with habitat age. Ascension Island and its seamounts are small, isolated and relatively young, yet, within its […]
