Phylogenetic diversity of picocyanobacteria in Arctic and Antarctic ecosystems Microbial Biosystems: New Frontiers, Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology, Halifax Canada, 2000 (Ref: 9878)
Category 3: Conference paper

Oxyphotobacteria ascribed to the genera Synechococcus and Synechocystis are widely distributed in Arctic and Antarctic lakes, yet they are poorly represented in the marine polar environment. Arctic lakes contain phycoerythrin-rich as well as phycocyanin-rich … picoplankton…

Ten Myths about the preservation of historic sites in Antarctica and some implications for Mawson's Huts at Cape Denison Polar Record., 2000 (Ref: 8905)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A review of popular writing on the subject of preservation of historic sites in Antarctica, including buildings, graves and artefacts, has revealed many misconceptions about the existence and cause of deterioration problems.

The Brattstrand Paragneiss and the Søstrene Orthogneiss: a review of Pan-African metamorphism and Grenvillian relics in southern Prydz Bay. The Antarctic Region: Geological Evolution and Processes., 1997 (Ref: 8488)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Outcrops in southern Prydz Bay comprise interleaved paragneiss and orthogneiss with high-temperature mineral assemblages and structures initially regarded as 1000 Ma in age (Grenvillian), but now known to largely reflect metamorphism and deformation at ~500 Ma (Pan African).

Regional contrasts in weathering and glacial sediments suggests long term subaerial exposure of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica The Antarctic Region: geological evolution and processes, 1997 (Ref: 8904)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica exhibits marked contrasts in the weathering surface, glacial sediments and terrain between its eastern and western parts. The boundary between these zones coincides with a regional chemical boundary termed the salt line.

Seasonal Variation in the pigment content of three species of Antarctic bryophytes , 2000 (Ref: 9607)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Seasonal changes in the photosynthetic and photoprotective pigment content of three species of Antarctic moss; Grimmia antarctici…

Genetic diversity, colonisation and dispersal of mosses in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica. Antarctic Ecosystems: Models for Wider Ecological Understanding, 2000 (Ref: 8416)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We are using molecular genetics techniques to investigate (a) the overall level of genetic diversity in Antarctic mosses, (b) the spatial arrangement and mutation levels within populations, (c) their taxonomic relationships and origins, (d) the effect of climate change on mutation levels, and (e)…

Variation in foraging and parental behavior of king cormorants The Auk, 2000 (Ref: 10085)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We studied sexual and individual differences in foraging and parental behavior of King Cormorants (Phalacrocorax albiventer) rearing chicks were studied at subantarctic Macquarie Island. Females dived mainly in the morning and males in the afternoon. Five females were shallow divers (1.9 to 6.8 m)…

Description of Cellulophaga algicola sp. nov., isolated from the surfaces of Antarctic algae and reclassification of Cytophaga uliginosa (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Reichenbach 1989 as Cellulophaga uliginosa comb. nov. International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2000 (Ref: 9897)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A group of strains with potent extracellular enzymic activity were isolated from the surfaces of the chain-forming sea-ice diatom Melosira and from an unidentified macrophyte collected from the Eastern Antarctic coastal zone.

Sublithic bacteria associated with Antarctic quartz stones Antarctic Science, 2000 (Ref: 9267)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Quartz stone sublithic cyanobacterial communities are common throughout the Vestfold Hills, Eastern Antarctica (68 degrees S 78 degrees E) contributing biomass in areas otherwise devoid of any type of vegetation. In this study…

Category 3: Conference paper

During the austral summer 1995/95 a cetacean sightings line transect survey was conducted on a platform of opportunity provided by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions krill hydroacoustic and oceanography survey of CCAMLR Division 58.4 (parts of IWC Area IV & V).

Ecological research and baleen whale management: a case study from the Southern Ocean Sanctuary Paper SC/52/E9 submitted to the Scientific Committee, International Whaling Commission IWC 52, June 2000, 2000 (Ref: 9310)
Category 3: Conference paper

Abstract … Current ecological theory and practice, in parallel with the changing emphasis in international conservation and management organisations towards an ecosystem approach, require us to:
