Using biometric measurements to determine gender of Flesh-footed Shearwaters, and their application as a tool in long-line by-catch management and ecological field studies Emu, 2007 (Ref: 13097)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract. We examined sexual dimorphism in 11 morphological characters of the Flesh-footed Shearwater (Puffinus … carneipes) and used these characters in a discriminant function analysis (DFA) to enable sexual classification in the field.

Extreme dives by free-ranging emperor penguins Polar Biology, 2007 (Ref: 13095)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract We examined the incidence of extreme … diving in a 3-year overwintering study of emperor … penguins Aptenodytes forsteri in East Antarctica. We … defined extreme dives as very deep (> 400 m) and/or … very long (> 12 min).

Assessing the toxic effects of dissolved copper on the Antarctic macroalga Desmarestia menziesii using chlorophyll fluorescence imaging in ecotoxicological tests Toxicological & Environmental Chemistry, 2007 (Ref: 13102)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Chlorophyll fluorescence was used to measure changes in the maximum fluorescence yield (F0m) and effective quantum yield (F/F0m ) of Antarctic macroalgae in response to dissolved copper.

Penguin colonies as secondary sources of contamination with persistent organic pollutants Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2007 (Ref: 13074)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Although long-range atmospheric transport has been described as the predominant mechanism … for exposing polar regions to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), recent studies have suggested … that bird activity can also contribute substantially to contaminant levels in some environments. However…

The role of the global electric circuit in solar and internal forcing of clouds and climate 13th International Conference on Atmospheric Electricity, August 13-17, 2007, Beijing, China, 2007 (Ref: 13072)
Category 3: Abstract

Reports of a variety of meteorological responses to short-term changes in the global electric circuit … associated with a number of disparate inputs are analyzed. The meteorological responses consist of changes in cloud … cover, atmospheric temperature, pressure, or dynamics.

Atmospheric electric circuit influences on ground level pressure at high magnetic latitudes in the Southern and Northern hemispheres 13th International Conference on Atmospheric Electricity, August 13-17, 2007, Beijing, China, 2007 (Ref: 13071)
Category 3: Abstract

The Mansurov effect, which for the Northern Hemisphere consists of a negative association … between the By component (east-west) of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF)…

Ice drift and deformation during ISPOL2004 14th AMOS Conference, 5th-7th February 2007, Adelaide, Australia, 2007 (Ref: 12886)
Category 3: Abstract

Sea-ice drift and deformation in the Western Weddell Sea during austra; summer of 2004 are characterised using in situ data from a meso-scale array of 24 drifting ice buoys. About 30 days of data during late November and December 2004 are available from the buoy array.

History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2007 (Ref: 13078)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community … that developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Fossil … analysis of a 47 cm long sediment core revealed a rich modern fauna dominated by filter feeders …
