Zooplankton biodiversity and life histories of common copepods in an Antarctic nearshore habitat ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2024 (Ref: 17317)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Coastal Antarctic ecosystems feature long periods of sea ice cover, strong seasonality in primary production, and low biodiversity relative to marginal ice zone regions. There are few records of annual cycles of biodiversity and abundance of neritic Antarctic zooplankton…

Repeatable methods to establish and maintain cultures of Antarctic bdelloid rotifers Hydrobiologia, 2025 (Ref: 17404)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Bdelloid rotifers are an important component of the biodiversity of ice-free regions of Antarctica. Despite this, knowledge of how to establish and maintain cultures, and optimal conditions for growth, is limited.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Aim … To map presence, absence and ignorance of Antarctic seabird breeding occupancy at the spatial resolution of ice-free habitat sites to identify knowledge gaps and inform management and conservation. Location … East Antarctica between longitudes 30°?E and 150°?E.

A dataset of Antarctic ecosystems in ice-free lands: classification, descriptions, and maps. Scientific Data, 2025 (Ref: 17260)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctica, Earth's least understood and most remote continent, is threatened by human disturbances and climate-related changes, underscoring the imperative for biodiversity inventories to inform conservation. Antarctic ecosystems support unique species and genetic diversity…

Holocene climate and ecosystem variability on sub-Antarctic Campbell, Macquarie and Marion Islands. International Quaternary Association, University of Bern, Switzerland 21-27 July 2011, 2011 (Ref: 14855)
Category 3: Poster

The sub-Antarctic region between 45-60°S is primarily ocean. However, there are a few small isolated islands, most of which are currently facing the combined pressures of climate change and introduced species.

Evidence for the continued existence of Abraxas Lake, Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica during the Last Glacial Maximum Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13616)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Evidence is provided from a sediment core from saline Abraxas Lake, Vestfold Hills, that indicates that the lake existed through the Last Glacial Maximum. It can therefore be concluded that at least part of the Vestfold Hills also remained ice-free through the Last Glacial Maximum…
