Biology and population studies of two endemic Nematocera (orchid) species on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 2009 (Ref: 13969)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Two endemic orchid species, Nematoceras dienemum and N. sulcatum, are known from sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. Several additional orchid populations on the island are reported and cleistogamy is documented in N. dienemum for the first time. The known population sizes…

The first subantarctic plant virus report: Stilbocarpa mosaic bacilliform badnavirus (SMBV) from Macquarie Island. Polar Biology, 2003 (Ref: 10409)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We report here the finding of a new plant virus, Stilbocarpa mosaic bacilliform badnavirus (SMBV) in Stilbocarpa polaris (Homb. et Jacq.) Gray on subantarctic Macquarie Island. This is the first vascular plant virus reported from any of the remote subantarctic islands…

Biological invasions in the Antarctic: extent, impacts and implications. Biological Reviews, 2005 (Ref: 12451)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Alien microbes, fungi, plants and animals occur on most of the sub-Antarctic islands and some parts of the … Antarctic continent. These have arrived over approximately the last two centuries, coincident with human … activity in the region. Introduction routes have varied…

Origin and evolution of the sub-Antarctic islands: the Foundation The sub-Antarctic. Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, 2007 (Ref: 13527)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Sub-Antarctic islands have a diversity of origins in detail but most are volcanic and very young suggesting that they are short-lived and that the distribution would have been very different a few million years ago. They contrast with the common tourist brochure concept of oceanic islands.

Facing the furious fifties: the contractile stem of the subantarctic megaherb Pleurophyllum hookeri. New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2006 (Ref: 12642)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

On the cool, moist, extremely windy … subantarctic islands, vegetation is treeless and megaherbs, tussock grasses, and cushion plants are the … dominant plant growth forms. In world terms the … subantarctic environment is an unusual one…

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.

Genetic diversity, mutagenesis and dispersal of Antarctic mosses – a review of progress with molecular studies Antarctic Science, 2000 (Ref: 9341)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We are using techniques of molecular genetics to investigate the extent of genetic diversity in Antarctic mosses. The RAPD technique has proven especially useful in demonstrating that these mosses exhibit extensive genetic variation (levels being similar to those in temperate regions)…

RAPD analysis of genetic variation and dispersal of the moss Bryum pseudotriquetrum from Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Polar Biology, 1998 (Ref: 8412)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The RAPD technique (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) was used to assess the level of genetic diversity in Bryum pseudotriquetrum from Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Isolates were collected from two transects…

Genetic variation and dispersal of Bryum argenteum and Hennediella heimii populations in the Garwood Valley, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Antarctic Science, 1998 (Ref: 8413)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…
