We investigate using relative amounts of … prey DNA recovered from pinniped faeces to obtain … diet composition data. Faeces were obtained from … captive sea lions being fed a diet containing three fish … species (50%, 36% and 14% by mass).
The microscopic anatomy of the cardio-respiratory system, digestive system, kidney, lymphatic system and integument … was investigated in the leopard seal, Hydrurga leptonyx … , by examining histological sections of tissues … collected from leopard seals in Antarctica and New South Wales, Australia.
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz … Bay–Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion surfaces record at least 10 intervals … of glacial advance (with accompanying erosion and sediment compaction)…
Landforms of Marine Plain in the Vestfold Hills contrast with those of most in the Vestfold Hills. They include consistent land surfaces at 40+ m and 25 m, characteristics controlled by orientation of rock … features, and imprints of phases of glaciation…
The degree to which Southern Hemisphere climatic changes during the end of the last … glacial period and early Holocene (30-8 ka) were influenced or initiated by events occurring in the high … latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere is a complex issue.
The frequency of visibly phage-infected bacterial … cells (FVIB) and the average number of phages … per cell [i.e. burst size (BS)] were determined in … Antarctic and Arctic ultra-oligotrophic freshwater … environments.
Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) are globally threatened owing to declines in populations, and the breeding population of Macquarie Island is particularly vulnerable as it comprises fewer than 20 breeding … pairs.
This review concerns crustaceans that associate with sea ice. Particular … emphasis is placed on comparing and contrasting the Arctic and Antarctic … sea ice habitats, and the subsequent influence of these environments on the … life history strategies of the crustacean fauna.
This work has been the first application of DGT samplers for measuring metals in water and sediment porewater in the Antarctic … environment, and whilst DGT water sampling was restricted to quantification of Cd, Fe and Ni…
Exceptional sea ice conditions occurred in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region from September … 2001 to February 2002, resulting from a strongly positive atmospheric pressure anomaly in the South … Atlantic coupled with strong negative anomalies in the Bellingshausen…
An Antarctic circumpolar wave (ACW) of 3- to-4-year period propagated eastward … around the Southern Ocean in covarying sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level … pressure (SLP) anomalies from 1983 through 1992…
We examined the fine scale distribution of the … endemic Antarctic collembolan Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni … in Taylor Valley, southern Victoria Land using the … mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase I gene.
Underwater calling behaviour between breathing … bouts of a single adult male Weddell seal … (Leptonychotes weddellii) was examined with … respect to call type and timing late in the breeding … season at Davis Station, Antarctica.
We present a reconstruction of Antarctic mean surface … temperatures over the past two centuries based on water … stable isotope records from high-resolution, precisely dated … ice cores. Both instrumental and reconstructed temperatures … indicate large interannual to decadal scale variability…
