Productivity Proxies in Surface Sediment of the East Antarctic Margin: A Focus on Excess Ba Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatolgy, 2024 (Ref: 17171)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Components such as organic carbon (Corg), carbonate, opal or barite are valuable paleoceanographic proxies, enabling the reconstruction of past changes in carbon cycling under various climate regimes, particularly when 230Th-normalization is used to reconstruct particulate vertical rain rates.

Effects of diesel and lubricant oils on Antarctic benthic microbial communities over five years. Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2010 (Ref: 14227)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A 5 yr field experiment was carried out comparing the effects of Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, synthetic lubricant (Mobil 0W40), used synthetic lubricant (used Mobil 0W40) and a biodegradable lubricant (Titan GT1) on Antarctic benthic microbial communities.

Genetic diversity of Nymphon (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida: Nymphonidae) along the Antarctic Peninsula with a focus on Nymphon australe Hodgson 1902 Marine Biology, 2008 (Ref: 13741)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Sea spiders are conspicuous, and often abundant, members of the Antarctic benthic community. Nymphonidae (Pycnogonida) in Southern Ocean waters … comprise over 240 species which are often diYcult to … assign due to their intraspeciWc ‘highly variable’ morphology. In particular, Nymphon australe…

Pseudogenes and DNA-based diet analyses: a cautionary tale from a relatively well sampled predator-prey system Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2008 (Ref: 13350)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Mitochondrial ribosomal DNA is commonly used in DNA-based dietary … analyses. In such studies, these sequences are generally assumed to be the … only version present in DNA of the organism of interest. However…

A photosynthetic alveolate closely related to apicomplexan parasites Nature, 2008 (Ref: 13525)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Many parasitic Apicomplexa, such as Plasmodium falciparum, contain an unpigmented chloroplast remnant termed the … apicoplast, which is a target for malaria treatment. However, no close relative of apicomplexans with a functional … photosynthetic plastid has yet been described.

Biology and molecular phylogenetics of Nematoceras sulcatum, a second endemic orchid species from subantarctic Macquarie Island Polar Biology, 2007 (Ref: 12943)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A second orchid species, Nematoceras … sulcatum M.A.Clem. et D.L.Jones, has been found on … subantarctic Macquarie Island. A history of its discovery … and recognition is provided. The morphology, biology and ecology of the new species are compared … with N. dienemum (D.L.Jones) D.L.Jones, M.A.Clem.

DNA sequencing and genetic diversity of the 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS) in nine Antarctic moss species Antarctic Science, 2005 (Ref: 12452)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We have sequenced the 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS region from the genome of nine … different moss species from the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This relatively quick and simple technique … enables these species to be readily distinguished, facilitating their taxonomic identification.

Variation in the ribosomal ITS-sequence of the lichens Buellia frigida and Xanthoria elegans from the Vestfold Hills, Eastern Antarctica. Lichenologist, 2001 (Ref: 10076)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Thalli of the lichens Buellia frigida and Xanthoria elegans were collected from five different locations each 5-15 km apart in the Vestfold Hills, Princess Elizabeth Land, eastern Antarctica. A further collection was made from Mawson Station, Mac Robertson Land, eastern Antarctica 660 km away.

Novel Psychrobacter species from Antarctic ornithogenic soils International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1996 (Ref: 9900)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ornithogenic soil is derived from the deposition of the fecal matter of various species of birds and is a major source of nutrient input in the Antarctic marine ecosystem. A significant proportion of microbiota of ornithogenic soil collected from an Adelie penguin colony in eastern Antarctica…
