Abstract Snow algae darken snow through biomass accumulation and pigmentation, yet nutrient controls on algal abundance and pigment composition in Antarctic snowfields remain poorly constrained. Along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), coastal snowfields receive nutrient inputs from marine and wildlife sources that may influence bloom development.

Abstract Although foraminiferal oxygen isotope records (δ18OF) have long been used to develop time‐continuous estimates of past global ice volume, growing evidence indicates that the ice volume and temperature contributions to δ18OF diverge considerably over the last glacial cycle.

Shift Towards Syndiniales Prevalence in Protist Communities During a Marine Heatwave
During a marine heatwave, protist diversity decreased and communities became more homogeneous. The parasitic dinoflagellate Syndiniales became the most dominant group in Subtropical Waters and the Southland Front. Since host‐parasitoid interactions are important in carbon and nutrient cycling, they should be considered when studying heatwave impacts on

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck
We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

Estimating the distribution of demand for Antarctic krill (Euphauisa superba) from land-based predators at South Georgia [PDF]
South Georgia is renowned for the abundance of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and a range of krill predators. Variability in krill availability at a range of scales, and the consequences of this for predator-prey interactions, mean that quantifying ...

ABSTRACT Aim Leptoceridae is the second most diverse caddisfly family, spreading across all biogeographical regions but with a higher species richness in the Oriental region; nevertheless, the Afrotropical, Austral and Neotropical regions have greater genera diversity and endemicity.

South American fire activity in spring is linked to Antarctic sea ice variability
Fires in South America exert substantial social, economic, and environmental impacts, and are becoming more severe. While tropical oceanic variability is widely recognized as a key driver of fire-conducive conditions, potential influences from mid- and ...

Global Kelp Biogeography: Past, Present and Future
ABSTRACT Aim We review the past, present and future biogeography of kelps (Order Laminariales), integrating recent advances in phylogeography, population genomics and species distribution modelling to outline the key patterns and processes relevant to kelp biogeography. Location Global. Taxa Kelp (Order Laminariales).

Radiocarbon reservoir ages from freshwater lakes, south Georgia, sub-Antarctic: Modern analogues from particulate organic matter and surface sediments [PDF]
Lake sediments have the potential to preserve proxy records of past climate change. Organic material suitable for radiocarbon dating often provides age control of such proxy records.
