1. Effects of long-term implanted data loggers on macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus

   We tested the hypothesis that implanted data loggers have no effect on the survival, breeding success and behaviour of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus . Seventy penguins were implanted with heart […]

2. Energetics of the moult fast in female macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus

   The metabolic rate of moulting macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus was investigated using three techniques in order to test two hypotheses concerning the energetic cost of the moult fast in penguins. […]

3. Long-term interannual cycles of the gametogenic ecology of the Antarctic brittle star Ophionutus victoriae

   Spermatogenesis, oogenesis and fecundity are described and the gonad index calculated for 10 individuals from each month using histological and image analysis techniques for the Antarctic brittle star Ophionotus victoriae […]

4. Sexual size dimorphism in northern giant petrels: ecological correlates and scaling

   Northern giant petrels (Macronectes halli) are among the largest and most sexually size dimorphic species of seabirds, with females being only 80% the mass of males. Both sexes scavenge on […]

5. Regulation of incubation shifts near hatching by giant petrels: a timed mechanism, embryonic signalling or food availability?

   In most seabird species incubation shifts shorten when hatching approaches, a behavioural response allowing the chick to be fed soon after hatching. Three mechanisms have been proposed to explain these […]

7. BGDL-II: a GPS data logger for birds

   We have developed a new GPS data logger consisting of a receiver, timer, memory, and battery. It is principally designed for long period tracking of migratory birds. It can fix […]

8. Late Quaternary terrigenous sediments from the Murray Canyons area, offshore South Australia and their implications for sea level change, palaeoclimate and palaeodrainage of the Murray-Darling Basin

   Two sediment cores from the deep-sea Murray Canyons area, south of Kangaroo Island, Australia were investigated for quantity and composition of terrigenous material. Spanning the last 175 ka, terrigenous matter […]

9. A minimal substorm model that explains the observed statistical distribution of times between substorms

   A minimal model for the evolution of the global dynamical state of the magnetotail during the substorm has been developed, involving only three simple rules and one free parameter D-the […]

10. On the probability distributions of SuperDARN Doppler spectral width measurements inside and outside the cusp

    The Doppler spectral width of backscatter from the SuperDARN HF radars has been routinely used to identify the ionospheric cusp. The probability distribution of spectral width values has been described […]

11. Protein synthesis, RNA concentrations, nitrogen excretion, and metabolism vary seasonally in the Antarctic holothurian Heterocucumis steineni (Ludwig, 1898)

    Seasonal changes in protein and nitrogen metabolism have not previously been reported in any Antarctic suspension-feeding species that ceases feeding for extended periods in winter. To provide comparison with data […]

12. A comparison of satellite and cruise chlorophyll-a measurements in the Scotia Sea, Antarctica

    We compared both SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor) and MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) chlorophyll-a (chl-a) measurements with simultaneous ship based data obtained during a 2003 British Antarctic Survey (BAS) research […]
