Basking in the sun: how mosses photosynthesise and survive in Antarctica Photosynthesis Research, 2023 (Ref: 16924)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic environment is extremely cold, windy and dry. Ozone depletion has resulted in increasing ultraviolet-B radiation, and increasing greenhouse gases and decreasing stratospheric ozone have altered Antarctica's climate.

Boundary-line trade-off in bryophytes between UV photoprotection and photosynthetic capacity, but not desiccation tolerance Annals of Botany, 2025 (Ref: 17422)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Background and Aims … Coping with both UV-B radiation and desiccation was essential for early land plants. In bryophytes, UV-B screening and desiccation tolerance partially depend on the physicochemical features of cell walls, which may also constrain photosynthesis.

Monte Carlo Simulation of the Neutron Monitor and Position-Dependent Bare Neutron Counter Yield Functions at Mawson Station, Antarctica 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 2024 (Ref: 17183)
Category 3: Conference paper

Neutron monitors (NMs) are ground-based detectors that are widely used to detect secondary particles produced by the collisions of primary cosmic rays (CRs) and air molecules in the Earth's atmosphere. Bare neutron counters (BCs), operated without the lead producer and polyethylene reflector…

Biogeography and genetic diversity of terrestrial mites in the Ross Sea region, Antarctica. Genes, 2023 (Ref: 17127)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Free-living terrestrial mites (Acari) have persisted through numerous glacial cycles in Antarctica. Very little is known, however, of their genetic diversity and distribution, particularly within the Ross Sea region. To redress this gap, we sampled mites throughout the Ross Sea region…

Return of the Maud Rise Polynya: Climate litmus or sea ice anomaly? [In: State of the Climate in 2017] Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2018 (Ref: 17043)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Maud Rise polynya is a persistent area of open water within the sea ice cover of the Southern Ocean, which overlies an area of elevated topography called Maud Rise (66°S, 3°E) located in the eastern sector of the Weddell Sea (Fig. SB6.1a).

Collecting Quality Echosounder Data in Inclement Weather International Council for the Exploration of the Sea Cooperative Research Report, 2021 (Ref: 16898)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Echosounder data are widely collected and employed to address multitude scientific questions, from characterizing pelagic marine ecosystems, to investigating the behaviour and dynamics of marine organisms, and estimating the abundance and biomass of marine resources.

Easy come, easy go: capillary forces enable rapid refilling of embolized primary xylem vessels Plant Physiology, 2015 (Ref: 15566)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Protoxylem plays an important role in the hydraulic function of vascular systems of both herbaceous and woody plants, but relatively little is known about the processes underlying maintenance of protoxylem function in long-lived tissues. In the present study…
