Abstract Biofluorescence is widespread among marine fish but remains poorly documented in polar ecosystems. Using hyperspectral imaging, we report fluorescent emissions in two polar zoarcid eelpouts. A captive Antarctic eelpout (Pachycara brachycephalum) displayed uniform bright green fluorescence (~500–520 nm), whereas an Arctic eelpout (Lycodes ...

Late Holocene records of Antarctic fur Seal (Arctocephalus gazella) population variation on South Georgia, sub Antarctic [PDF]
The Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) population at South Georgia has increased dramatically through the 20th and 21st centuries following near extinction at the beginning of the 20th century.

Abstract The macroalga Macrocystis pyrifera (“giant” or “bladder” kelp) plays a vital role in cold‐temperate marine ecosystems but faces increasing threats from ongoing environmental change. Understanding its population diversity and connectivity is essential for predicting future range shifts and assessing the ecological consequences of such shifts in

Climate Change and the Microbiology of the Antarctic Peninsula Region
Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are cold, dry, low nutrient environments, with large temperature fluctuations and paradoxically low levels of water availability. These extreme environments are dominated by microorganisms (viruses, archaea, eubacteria, fungi and microsporidia, alveolata, stramenopila, rhodophyta, green algae and protists), which can ...

Iceberg Freshwater Transport Alleviates Future Weakening of Antarctic Bottom Water Formation
Abstract Intensification of calving in a warmer future climate would result in production of more Antarctic icebergs, and iceberg freshwater flux would play a more consequential role in ice‐climate interactions. Distribution of iceberg freshwater flux under future climate scenarios, however, has not been assessed with full consideration of changes and ...

Global Characterization of Precipitation Peaks in the Seasonal Cycle
Abstract Precipitation seasonality is commonly described using wet and dry periods, but this framework can obscure multiple rainfall maxima within a rainy season. Here we introduce a global framework for identifying the number of precipitation peaks (NPP) during rainy periods from daily precipitation using optimal harmonic seasonal fits and ...

Observational Constraints on Sea Salt Contribution to CCN Over the Southern Ocean
Abstract Earth system models exhibit persistent biases in simulating cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, largely due to inadequate representation of aerosol sources. Here, we present year‐round (January 2023–February 2024) measurements of aerosol hygroscopicity (HTDMA), particle number size distribution (SMPS), and ...
