Novel Psychrobacter species from Antarctic ornithogenic soils International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1996 (Ref: 9900)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ornithogenic soil is derived from the deposition of the fecal matter of various species of birds and is a major source of nutrient input in the Antarctic marine ecosystem. A significant proportion of microbiota of ornithogenic soil collected from an Adelie penguin colony in eastern Antarctica…

A molecular phylogenetic survey of sea-ice microbial communities (SIMCO) FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2001 (Ref: 9875)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

16S rDNA clone library analysis was used to identify bacterial biodiversity in a variety of sea-ice microbial communities (SIMCO). DNA was extracted from seven Antarctic sea-ice samples and … one Arctic sea-ice sample and 16S rDNA PCR-amplified using universal and Archaea-specific primers.

The role of recruitment and colonisation processes in structuring Antarctic terrestrial communities. "Ecology in a Rapidly Changing World." Proceedings of the Ecological Society of Australia's Annual Conference held at La Trobe University, Melbourne, from 29 November - 1 December 2000., 2000 (Ref: 9702)

Category 3: Abstract

The ice-free habitats of continental Antarctica are among the most geographically isolated on Earth. Colonization of Antarctica requires the immigration of dissemules from distant biotic sites across large distances of snow or open ocean.

Category 3: Abstract

The Antarctic continent covers an area of nearly 14 million square kilometres, representing one-sixteenth of the Earths land surface. Ninety-eight percent of this area is covered by ice. The remaining 2% comprises widely scattered patches of rock and mineral terrain surrounded by snowfields…

Underwater calling rates of harp and Weddell seals as a function of hydrophone location Polar Biology, 2001 (Ref: 9593)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Stereo recordings of harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) and Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) underwater vocalizations were made near breeding groups using separations between two hydrophones of 159-339 m. Within a large herd, harp seal call numbers varied slightly between channels.
