Convergence or divergence: where do short-tailed shearwaters forage in the Southern Ocean? Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006 (Ref: 12732)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Short-tailed shearwaters Puffinus tenuirostris (STSH) make use of a number of physical … oceanographic features on their foraging trips to the Southern Ocean from their breeding colonies in … southeast Australia.

The systematics of Australian Daphnia and Daphniopsis (Crustacea: Cladocera): a shared phylogenetic history transformed by habitat-specific rates of evolution. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2006 (Ref: 12721)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This study examines the molecular-genetic divergence and evolution of Australian aquatic micro-Crustacea Daphnia … and Daphniopsis. The results indicate that species of Daphniopsis are accommodated within the genus Daphnia. Although their phyletic integrity is no longer supported…

Using real-time PCR to assess changes in the hydrocarbon-degrading microbial community in Antarctic soil during bioremediation. Microbial Ecology, 2006 (Ref: 12765)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to … quantify the proportion of microorganisms containing … alkane monooxygenase was developed and used to follow … changes in the microbial community in hydrocarboncontaminated … Antarctic soil during a bioremediation field … trial.

Baseline metal concentrations in Paramoera walkeri from East Antarctica. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2006 (Ref: 12764)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Remediation of the Thala Valley waste disposal site near Casey Station, East Antarctica was conducted in the austral summer of … 2003/2004. Biomonitoring of the adjacent marine environment was undertaken using the gammaridean amphipod Paramoera walkeri … as a sentinel species [Stark, J.S.…

Fishing ground selection in the Antarctic krill fishery: Trends in patterns across years, seasons and nations. CCAMLR Science, 2006 (Ref: 12759)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Patterns of fishing ground selection were characterised using STATLANT and CCAMLR … fine-scale data. Among the 15 small-scale management units (SSMUs) within Subareas … 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3, including the pelagic SSMUs, only one-third were identified as major … contributors to the total catch.

Assessing the power to detect systematic change in Adélie penguin foraging trip duration. CCAMLR Science, 2006 (Ref: 12752)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Models of variability in Adélie penguin foraging trip durations were constructed and fitted … to data collected at Béchervaise Island over a 12-year period when only natural variation … was known to occur. Variability among trips and penguins was greater in the crèche … stage…

Modelling variability and estimating power to detect change in Adélie penguin fledgling weights. CCAMLR Science, 2006 (Ref: 12751)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Statistical models of variation in Adélie penguin fledgling weight data were used to … examine the power to detect a change in fledgling weights after an impact.

Planetary wave and gravity wave influence on the occurrence of polar stratospheric clouds over Davis Station, Antarctica, seen in lidar and radiosonde observations. Journal of Geophysical Research., 2006 (Ref: 12739)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present Rayleigh lidar observations of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC) from … Davis Station (68.6S, 78.0E), Antarctica, from the 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 austral … winter seasons. The PSC are detected as enhanced backscatter returns at lower … stratospheric heights.
