Low genetic diversity in Antarctic populations of the lichen-forming ascomycete Cetraria aculeata and its photobiont [PDF]
Polar Research, 2012 Lichens, symbiotic associations of fungi (mycobionts) and green algae or cyanobacteria (photobionts), are poikilohydric organisms that are particularly well adapted to withstand adverse environmental conditions.

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

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 ...

Carbon dioxide emissions of Antarctic tourism [PDF]
, 2011 The increase of tourism to the Antarctic continent may entail not only local but also global environmental impacts. These latter impacts, which are mainly caused by transport, have been generally ignored.
