Glacial meltwater identification in the Amundsen Sea
Pine Island Ice Shelf, in the Amundsen Sea, is losing mass because of warm ocean waters melting the ice from below. Tracing meltwater pathways from ice shelves is important for […]

Impacts of rising sea temperatures on krill increase risks for predators in the Scotia Sea
Read more of: Impacts of rising sea temperatures on krill increase risks for predators in the Scotia SeaClimate change is a threat to marine ecosystems and the services they provide, and reducing fishing pressure is one option for mitigating the overall consequences for marine biota. We used […]

On the ecological relevance of landscape mapping and its application in the spatial planning of very large marine protected areas
Read more of: On the ecological relevance of landscape mapping and its application in the spatial planning of very large marine protected areasIn recent years very large marine protected areas (VLMPAs) have become the dominant form of spatial protection in the marine environment. Whilst seen as a holistic and geopolitically achievable approach […]

Characterisation of Pseudanabaena amphigranulata (Synechococcales) isolated from a man-made pond, Malaysia: A polyphasic approach
Read more of: Characterisation of Pseudanabaena amphigranulata (Synechococcales) isolated from a man-made pond, Malaysia: A polyphasic approachA filamentous benthic cyanobacteria strain isolated from a tropical man-made pond in Malaysia was characterised using combined phenotypic and genetic approaches. Morphological and ultrastructural observations were performed together with growth […]

Conservation implications of spatial genetic structure in two species of oribatid mites from the Antarctic Peninsula and the Scotia Arc
Read more of: Conservation implications of spatial genetic structure in two species of oribatid mites from the Antarctic Peninsula and the Scotia ArcMitochondrial and nuclear sequence data from two Antarctic ameronothroid mites, Halozetes belgicae and Alaskozetes antarcticus, were used to address three key questions important for understanding both the evolution of biodiversity […]

Global patterns of declining temperature variability from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene
Read more of: Global patterns of declining temperature variability from the Last Glacial Maximum to the HoloceneChanges in climate variability are as important for society to address as are changes in mean climate1. Contrasting temperature variability during the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene can provide […]

Biodiversity and biogeography of southern temperate and polar bryozoans
Read more of: Biodiversity and biogeography of southern temperate and polar bryozoansAim To describe the distribution of biodiversity and endemism of bryozoans in southern temperate and polar waters. We hypothesized that we would find: (1) no strong latitudinal richness gradient; (2) […]
