We conducted a scanning electron microscopic survey of morphological variations in the … calcareous nanoplankton species Emiliania huxleyi in Southern Ocean surface water samples … collected along a transect from 43 to 64° S and 141 to 145° E during November 2001, October to … February 2002/2003…

DMSP in Antarctic Pack and Fast Ice 2002 Western Pacific Geophysics July meeting in Wellington, New Zealand. Session: Ocean Sciences, 2002 (Ref: 10512)
Category 3: Conference paper

In Polar Regions, sea ice has a marked influence on interactions between the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. The contribution of the sea ice zone to the global flux of dimethylsulphide (DMS), a trace sulphur gas implicated in climate change, has been of interest for over a decade.

Distribution of euphausiid larvae along the coast of East Antarctica in the Dumont d'Urville Sea (139 - 145°E) during summer 2004 Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13790)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The distribution of euphausiid larvae along the coast of Terre Ade´lie, Antarctica, was assessed using … oblique tows of a double-framed bongo net at 38 stations during summer 2004. Larvae of Euphausia … crystallorophias and Thysanoessa macrura were observed. For E. crystallorophias larvae…

Composition and significance of picophytoplankton in Antarctic waters Polar Biology, 2009 (Ref: 13731)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Filter fractionated picophytoplankton from … Antarctic coastal waters (summer 2001) represented only … 7–33% of total phytoplankton, even though total stocks … were low (average Chl a = 0.32 g l¡1, range = 0.13– 1.03 g l¡1). Though all cells passed a 2 m Wlter…

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In January 2004 the microplankton community … from the coastal waters of Terre Ade´lie and Georges V Land … (139!E–145!E) was studied. Results showed a diatomdominated … bloom with chlorophyll a levels averaging … 0.64 lg l-1 at 5 m depth (range 0.21–1.57 lg l-1).

High sensitivity of subglacial hydrological pathways in Antarctica to small ice-sheet changes Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 (Ref: 13531)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

[1] The flow of water beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet has … recently been shown to involve drainage from and exchange … between subglacial lakes, with flow routing over distances … of >100km. As subglacial water is known to be important to … ice-sheet dynamics…

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.

Seasonal changes in the concentration and metabolic activity of bacteria and viruses at an Antarctic coastal site Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2007 (Ref: 13437)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Bacteria play a key role in the world’s oceans, supporting nutrient remineralisation and … mediating carbon transfer. Little is known about annual changes in bacterial concentration, production … and metabolism during the extreme seasonal changes in biological productivity in Antarctic … waters.

L-band (3.5 um) IR-excess in massive star formation. II: RCW 57/NGC 3576 Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 (Ref: 12857)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams for RCW 57 (NGC … 3576) based on L-band data at 3.5 ìm taken with SPIREX (South Pole Infrared Explorer), and 2MASS JHKs data at 1.25-2.2 ìm. A total of 251 sources were detected.

Carbon dynamics in an ultra-oligotrophic epishelf lake (Beaver Lake, Antarctica) in summer. Freshwater Biology, 2006 (Ref: 12637)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

1. Microbial plankton dynamics in an ultra-oligotrophic epishelf lake (Beaver Lake, Antarctica) were investigated over an austral summer (December 2002 to January 2003). The aim was to characterise carbon cycling in an environmentally extreme lake. 2.
