Improving our understanding of the effects of satellite tags on large whales is a critical step in ongoing tag development to minimise potential health effects whilst addressing important research questions that enhance conservation management policy. In 2014…
Current interpretation of histological alteration in fish as an indicator of contaminant impact is subjective. Generally severity of alteration is poorly described, and does not allow direct comparison between studies. A histological health index (HHI) modified from Bernet et al (1999)…
Identification of DNA sequence diversity is a powerful means for assessing the … species present in environmental samples.
The invertebrate animals that inhabit ice-free areas of East Antarctica have been studied … since the earliest days of Antarctic science. However, even though biodiversity and … biogeography is reasonably well known for some regions (e.g. Southern Victoria Land)…
A detailed study was made of the extent of genetic variation within populations of two moss species, Bryum argenteum and Henediella heimii, from the Garwood Valley in Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. RAPD technology was used to analyse over 30 clumps of each species…
The moss Hennediella heimii constitutes a significant proportion of the terrestrial flora of East Antarctica, especially in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region of southern Victoria Land. This is the first investigation of the extent of genetic variation within a population of Hennediella heimii. RAPDs…
Bathymetric, sidescan sonar and high-resolution seismic data indicate that the shelf off Mac. Robertson Land, East Antarctica is deeply eroded by glaciers and currents. Basement is exposed over wide areas. Data available include MCS and 3.5 kHz obtained by Stagg (1985) in 1982 (see OBrien et al.…
