Evidence for strong environmental control on bacterial microbiomes of Antarctic springtails
Scientific Reports, 2021 Collembola are a key component of the soil biota globally, playing an important role in community and ecosystem dynamics. Equally significant are their associated microbiomes, that can contribute to key metabolic functions.

Genetic population structure in the Antarctic benthos: insights from the widespread amphipod, Orchomenella franklini. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Currently there is very limited understanding of genetic population structure in the Antarctic benthos. We conducted one of the first studies of microsatellite variation in an Antarctic benthic invertebrate, using the ubiquitous amphipod Orchomenella ...

Ice Nucleating Particles in the Antarctic region
, 2022 <p>Ice nucleating particles (INPs) are rare but important atmospheric particles as they induce the formation of primary ice in mixed phase clouds and also in some cirrus clouds. A plethora of substances which can be found in atmospheric particles can induce ice nucleation. The most important ice active particle types in the atmosphere are

Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Recent observations indicate that two cryospheric components, namely the Antarctic sea ice and ice shelf over the Southern Ocean, have been changing over the decades. Here we analyze results from an ocean–sea ice–ice shelf model to examine variability in

Meteorology of the Antarctic Region [PDF]
Nature, 1882 IT is well known that on the Antarctic lands perpetual snow descends much lower than in corresponding latitudes of the northern hemisphere. The chief cause of this is, no doubt, the difference of climate due to the preponderance of land in the northern hemisphere and of water in the southern.
