Reproduction, growth and early life history of the Antarctic gammarid amphipod Paramoera walkeri Polar Biology, 2015 (Ref: 15567)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The gammarid Paramoera walkeri is one of the most abundant amphipods in near-shore Antarctic waters. There has been increasing interest in P. walkeri as a test species for ecotoxicology studies and bio-monitoring for contaminants in Antarctica…

Sensitivity of the Antarctic amphipod Paramoera walkeri to diesel and fuel oil: Lethal and behavioural impacts Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15568)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

One of the serious threats to the Antarctic marine ecosystem is the release of large volumes of petroleum fuel. Numerous fuel spill incidents have occurred and risks of a major spill are increasing due to continued expansion of human activity in the Antarctic region.

Toxicity of physically and chemically dispersed fuels to the Antarctic marine amphipod Paramoera walkeri Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15382)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Antarctica is often considered a pristine wilderness, however, as human occupation and activities in the region increase, it is becoming increasingly apparent that this is not the case.

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…

Spatial variation in carbon (δ 13c) and nitrogen (δ 15n) isotopes in Antarctic benthic fauna and its impact on the elucidation of a nearshore food web. Xth SCAR International Biology Symposium, Sapporo, Japan, July 26-31, 2009, 2009 (Ref: 14435)
Category 3: Abstract

The basis of using isotopic measurements to study trophic structure lies in documenting a regular and consistent pattern of isotopic enrichment with increasing trophic level. Nitrogen isotope ratios (δ 15N) in consumers become enriched in 15N by 3-4 % relative to their food…

Pleomorphism in the Antarctic flagellate Pyramimonas gelidicola (Prasinophyceae, Chlorophyta) Polar Research, 2009 (Ref: 13956)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Species of the genus Pyramimonas (Prasinophyceae) are a common, widespread, but minor component of the Antarctic marine phytoplankton. They are … often associated with the seasonal sea-ice environment. Pyramimonas gelidicola … (McFadden, Moestrup & Wetherbee, 1982)…

Nigel and the optical sky brightness at Dome C, Antarctica Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12898)
Category 3: Conference paper

The brightness of the night sky at an astronomical site is one of the principal factors that determine the quality … of available optical observing time. At any site the optical night sky is always brightened with airglow, zodiacal … light, integrated starlight…

Monitoring the remediation of a near shore waste disposal site in Antarctica using the amphipod Paramoera walkeri and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGTs). Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2006 (Ref: 12763)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The water quality of a marine embayment (Brown Bay) was monitored during the remediation of an abandoned waste disposal site at … Casey Station, East Antarctica, using a combination of biomonitoring and chemical methods. The Antarctic amphipod Paramoera walkeri…

Baseline metal concentrations in Paramoera walkeri from East Antarctica. Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2006 (Ref: 12764)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Remediation of the Thala Valley waste disposal site near Casey Station, East Antarctica was conducted in the austral summer of … 2003/2004. Biomonitoring of the adjacent marine environment was undertaken using the gammaridean amphipod Paramoera walkeri … as a sentinel species [Stark, J.S.…

Monitoring during the remediation of Thala Valley waste disposal site at Casey Station, Antarctica: Informing the process and assessing ecological impacts. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12507)
Category 3: Abstract

In the Antarctic summer of 2003/04 Australia began the remediation of an abandoned waste … disposal site at Casey Station, East Antarctica. Waste material and contaminated soil were … removed via excavation and returned to Australia for appropriate treatment and disposal.

Antarctica as a model for testing island biogeographic theory "The Ecology of Insular Biotas." Proceedings of an International Conference held at Victoria University of Wellington, 11-17 February 2001., 2001 (Ref: 9706)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

The Antarctic continent covers an area of nearly 14 million square kilometres, representing one-sixteenth of the Earths land surface. Ninety-eight percent of this area is covered by ice. The remaining 2% comprises widely scattered patches of rock and mineral terrain surrounded by snowfields…
