Population ecology of a terrestrial isopod in two breckland grass heaths
Read more of: Population ecology of a terrestrial isopod in two breckland grass heaths(1) Two superficially similar chalk grasslands in the Breckland of East Anglia provided very different habitats for the abundant terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare (Latreille). At Lakenheath Warren the site was […]

Altitudinal gradients in Magellanic sub-Antarctic lagoons: the effect of elevation on freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and distribution.
Read more of: Altitudinal gradients in Magellanic sub-Antarctic lagoons: the effect of elevation on freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity and distribution.Background. The study of altitudinal gradients provides insights about species diversity, distribution patterns and related drivers. The Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion has a steep elevational gradient, peaking at around 1,000 m […]

Habitat partitioning in Antarctic krill: Spawning hotspots and nursery areas
Read more of: Habitat partitioning in Antarctic krill: Spawning hotspots and nursery areasAntarctic krill, Euphausia superba, have a circumpolar distribution but are concentrated within the south-west Atlantic sector, where they support a unique food web and a commercial fishery. Within this sector, […]

Primary production of phytoplankton off Signy Island, South Orkneys, the Antarctic
Read more of: Primary production of phytoplankton off Signy Island, South Orkneys, the AntarcticMarine planktonic primary production was studied in Borge Bay, Signy Island, the Antarctic, during the period January 1972–February 1974. Productivity was measured in situ by the radiocarbon uptake method. In […]
