Signatories to the Antarctic Treaty System's Environmental Protocol are committed to preventing incursions of non-native species into Antarctica, but systematic surveillance is rare. Environmental DNA (eDNA)…
The rate and extent of global biodiversity change is surpassing our ability to measure, monitor and forecast trends. We propose an interconnected worldwide system of observation networks — a global biodiversity observing system (GBiOS)…
Antarctic and Southern Ocean environments are facing increasing pressure from multiple threats. The Antarctic Treaty System regularly looks to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)…
Genetic diversity is essential for maintaining healthy populations and ecosystems. Several approaches have recently been … developed to evaluate population genetic trends without necessarily collecting new genetic data. Such "genetic diversity … indicators" enable rapid…
Antarctica harbors many distinctive features of life, yet much about the diversity and functioning of Antarctica's life remains unknown. Evolutionary histories and functional ecology are well understood only for vertebrates…
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…
Communication at the science-policy interface can be bewildering not only for early-career researchers, but also for many within the research community. In the context of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, decision-makers operating within the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS)…
Background … Incomplete species inventories for Antarctica represent a key challenge for comprehensive ecological research and conservation in the region. Additionally, data required to understand population dynamics, rates of evolution, spatial ranges, functional traits…
Poster
We review the scientific literature, especially from the past decade, on the impacts of human … activities on the Antarctic environment. A range of impacts has been identified at a variety of spatial and … temporal scales.
This paper presents extensive {bias determination} analyses of ozone observations from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite instruments: the ACE Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS)…
The IceCam is an automated sea ice observing and environmental da~ logging system … developedjo intly by the ScottishA ssociationf or Marine Science( SAMS) and the … Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI).
The populations of two non-native Dipterans have been established at two Antarctic research stations … since at least 1998. Both belong to Sciaridae ("black … fungus midge"), and have been determined to the genus … Lycoriella. At Rothera Research Station, Antarctic … Peninsula…
This is a report containing results of desk studies and field investigations at Cape Denison produced for the AHC as a result of a National Estate Grant awarded to the authors in 1995. The Terms of Reference define three main areas of outcomes: 1.
