Antarctic Moss: survival beneath the ozone layer Abstracts of the COMBIO2001 conference, 2001 (Ref: 10436)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Seasonal changes in the photosynthetic and photoprotective pigment content of three species of Antarctic moss; Grimmia antarctici, Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Ceratodon purpureus were explored in relation to a range of environmental variables over the growing season in the Windmill Islands…

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)…

Meridional distribution of arsenic species in the subantarctic zone of the Southern Ocean, south of Australia Journal of Geophysical Research (Oceans), 2001 (Ref: 10245)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Distribution of the arsenic species total inorganic arsenic [As(V+III)], arsenite [As(III)], monomethyl arsenic (MMA), and dimethyl arsenic (DMA) was studied in the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) of the Southern Ocean, south of Australia, during the austral autumn (March 1998). As(V)…

Seasonal nutrient depletion and carbon export in the Subantarctic and Polar Frontal Zones of the Southern Ocean south of Australia Journal of Geophysical Research, 2001 (Ref: 10285)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Seasonal surface water nitrate and phosphate depletions were calculated for the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) and Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) of the Southern Ocean along the World Ocean Circulation Experiment SR3 repeat section south of Tasmania, Australia, and three other transects slightly to the west.

Accumulation and uptake of anthropogenic CO2 in the Southern Ocean, south of Australia between 1968 and 1996 Journal of Geophysical Research, 2001 (Ref: 10286)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Increases in the anthropogenic CO2 inventory for Southern Ocean waters to the south of Australia were estimated by comparing measurements made 28 years apart in 1968 and 1996. For this period…

Multiple parameter simulation of the Fabry-Perot interferometer ANARE Reports, 2001 (Ref: 10037)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Two simulation programmes have been written as aids to the design of Fabry-Perot interferometers. The use of the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) vis-a-vis the Aperture Function is discussed and an example given. Other features of the simulations are described briefly.

Photodissociation regions and star formation in the Carina nebula Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 (Ref: 10451)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We have obtained wide-field thermal infrared (IR) images of the Carina nebula, using the SPIREX/Abu telescope at the … South Pole. Emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 3.29um, a tracer of photodissociation … regions (PDRs)…

Foraging space of emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri in Antarctic shelf waters in winter Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1997 (Ref: 9488)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

To determine the foraging space of Emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri in winter 12 females from Auster colony (13 400 pairs) were equipped with satellite transmitters and time-depth recorders before departing on their 77 ± 8 d winter (June-August) foraging trip.

A comparative study of Synechococcus morphotypes from two ecosystems. Institute for Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies, Honours thesis, 1998 (Ref: 8653)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

The morphological diversity of naturally occurring populations of the chroococcoid cyanobacterial genus Synechococcus were investigated by electron microscopy. Analysis of samples from a coastal Tasmanian site (38° S 148° E) and from south of the Sub Tropical Convergence (54°S 146°E)…

Valine substituted winter flounder 'antifreeze': preservation of ice growth hysteresis. FEBS Letters, 1998 (Ref: 8358)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Three mutant polypeptides of the type I 37-residue winter flounder antifreeze protein have been synthesized. All four threonine residues in the native peptide have been mutated to serine…

RAPD analysis of genetic variation and dispersal of the moss Bryum argenteum in Ross Island and Victoria Land, Antarctica. Polar Biology, 1999 (Ref: 8417)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The RAPD technique (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) was used to assess the level of genetic diversity in Bryum argenteum from Ross Island and Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Samples were collected from three transects at different sites…

Modeling the determinants of species distributions in Antarctica. Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research, 1999 (Ref: 9259)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Considered from a functional ecological perspective, Antarcticas present-day terrestrial biota is the product of two sets of limiting factors: the continents isolation from sources of immigrant propagules and the severe environmental stresses to which successful immigrants are exposed.
