3. A simple model of the ice-shelf-ocean boundary layer and current

   Ocean-forced basal melting has been implicated in the widespread thinning of Antarctic ice shelves, but our understanding of what determines melt rates is hampered by our limited knowledge of the […]

4. Marine spatial planning for the conservation of albatrosses and large petrels breeding at South Georgia

   Tracking of seabirds at sea is valuable for marine spatial planning. Many seabirds are of conservation concern, including albatrosses and large petrels (Procellariiformes) which face a major threat from mortality […]

5. Non-annular response of sea ice cover in the Indian sector of the Antarctic during extreme SAM events

   This study investigates the impact of wind-induced sea ice drift on sea ice cover over the Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean (IOS) in the contrasting Southern Annular Mode […]

6. De novo assembly of complete genome sequence of Planococcus kocurii ATCC 43650T, a potential plant growth-promoting bacterium

   Planococcus kocurii ATCC 43650T is a halotolerant and psychrotolerant bacterium isolated from the skin of a North sea cod. Here, we present the first complete genome and annotation of P. […]

7. Feather mercury concentration in streaked shearwaters wintering in separate areas of southeast Asia

   We measured mercury concentration ([Hg]) and nitrogen stable isotope values (δ15N) in tail feathers that were replaced during the non-breeding period of streaked shearwaters Calonectris leucomelas that bred on 3 […]

8. Long-term effects of altered PH and temperature on the feeding energetics of the Antarctic sea urchin, Sterechinus neumayeri

   This study investigated the effects of long-term incubation to near-future combined warming (+2 °C) and ocean acidification (−0.3 and −0.5 pH units) stressors, relative to current conditions (−0.3 °C and […]

9. Severity of seabed spatial competition decreases towards the poles

   For more than a century ecologists have considered that competitive interactions between species are more intense at low latitudes 1 and 2. This is frequently invoked as either an explanation […]

10. Historical and projected changes in the Southern Hemisphere Sub-tropical Jet during winter from the CMIP5 models

    We present projected changes in the speed and meridional location of the Subtropical Jet (STJ) during winter using output of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models. We […]

11. Latitudinal and depth gradients in marine predation pressure

    Aim There is a general paradigm that marine predation pressure increases towards the tropics and decreases with depth. However, data demonstrating global trends are generally lacking. Rhynchonelliform brachiopods inhabit all […]

12. Summer epiphytic diatom communities from Terra Nova Bay and Cape Evans (Ross Sea, Antarctica) – A synthesis and final conclusions

    Despite recent advances in polar marine biology and related fields, many aspects of the ecological interactions that are crucial for the functioning of Antarctic shallow water habitats remain poorly understood. […]
