Assessing the toxicity of dispersed and weathered fuels on Antarctic marine invertebrates Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15384)
Category 3: Poster

Fuel spills in Antarctic waters are increasingly likely with the rise in shipping in the region related to tourism and research activities, both of which require and transport large quantities of fuel. While fuel dispersants are not currently used in the management of fuel spills in Antarctica…

Effects of salinity and temperature on fertilisation and early development of the Antarctic urchin Sterechinus neumayeri Master of Antarctic Science Thesis, Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Australia, 2011 (Ref: 15328)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

This study presents the first examination of the effect of both temperature and salinity on fertilisation and development in an Antarctic echinoderm. Previous studies on Antarctic species have not investigated the combined effects of temperature and salinity, focusing on only single factor studies…

Effects of ocean acidification and warming on fertilisation and embryogenesis in an Antarctic echinoderm. Ocean acidification and implications for living marine resources in the Southern Hemisphere Symposium, Canberra, ACT, 15-17 June 2011, 2011 (Ref: 14675)
Category 3: Poster

Simultaneous effects of ocean acidification and temperature change in Antarctic environments warrant investigation as little is known about the synergistic consequences of these parameters on Antarctic benthic species. Fertilisation success, embryo cleavage…

Parasite diversity of Nyctiphanes simplex and Nematoscelis difficilis (Crustacea: Euphausiacea) along the northwestern coast of Mexico Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010 (Ref: 13971)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The diversity of parasites found on Nyctiphanes simplex and Nematoscelis difficilis … (Order Euphausiacea) was compared during 10 oceanographic cruises made off both coasts of the … Baja California peninsula, Mexico. We tested the hypothesis that N.

A diverse benthic assemblage 100 km from open water under the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica Paleoceanography, 2007 (Ref: 12811)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A hot water drill was used to penetrate 480 m of ice to reveal a diverse benthic assemblage, dominated by … suspension-feeding invertebrates, under the Amery Ice Shelf (East Antarctica) at a location 100 km from open … water and at a depth of 775 m below sea level (840 m below the ice shelf surface)…

Myxomycetes of subantarctic Macquarie Island Australian Journal of Botany, 2007 (Ref: 12984)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Macquarie Island is an oceanic island located 1000k m south-east of Tasmania.The island, which lies close … to but north of the Antarctic Convergence is the southern most island in the world with a fairly complete cover of … vegetation. However…

Systematics and biology of Macquarie Island echinoderms. Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria, 1998 (Ref: 8668)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Fifty-two echinoderm species are recorded from off Macquarie Island and the Macquarie Ridge in the Southern Ocean. One new asteroid Odontohenricia anarea sp. nov. and one new holothurian Trachythyone nelladana sp. nov. are described. The asteroid genus Calvasterias is synonymised with Anasterias.

Origin of Macquarie Island echinoderms Polar Biology, 1998 (Ref: 8391)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The origin of echinoderms from Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean is analyzed through a novel application of multivariate statistics. Ordinations are produced from a combination of species distribution, bathymetric, habitat and life history data in order to assess patterns of migration.
