Biology and population studies of two endemic Nematocera (orchid) species on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 2009 (Ref: 13969)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Two endemic orchid species, Nematoceras dienemum and N. sulcatum, are known from sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. Several additional orchid populations on the island are reported and cleistogamy is documented in N. dienemum for the first time. The known population sizes…

Pleomorphism in the Antarctic flagellate Pyramimonas gelidicola (Prasinophyceae, Chlorophyta) Polar Research, 2009 (Ref: 13956)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Species of the genus Pyramimonas (Prasinophyceae) are a common, widespread, but minor component of the Antarctic marine phytoplankton. They are … often associated with the seasonal sea-ice environment. Pyramimonas gelidicola … (McFadden, Moestrup & Wetherbee, 1982)…

Foraging areas of black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses breeding on Macquarie Island in relation to marine protected areas. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater ecosystems, 2006 (Ref: 12691)
