Species Diversity and Community Structure of Macrobenthos in the Cosmonaut Sea, East Antarctica
The Cosmonaut Sea is an under-studied area and a “white spot” for macrobenthos research. Here, we report on the species diversity and community structure of macrobenthos collected using tringle trawls on the 38th Chinese National Antarctic Research ...

Pseudopuniceibacterium antarcticum sp. nov., isolated from an Antarctic marine sponge
A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain HQ09T, was isolated from a marine sponge off the coast of Fields Peninsula, West Antarctica. Strain HQ09T grew at 4–35 °C (optimum, 25 °C), pH 5–9 (optimum, pH 7.0), and with 1–10% NaCl (optimum, 2 %).

Anti-inflammatory activity in selected Antarctic benthic organisms
Antarctic benthos was prospected in search for anti-inflammatory activity in polar benthic invertebrates, in two different geographical areas: deep-bottoms of the Eastern Weddell Sea and shallow-waters of the South Shetland Islands. A total of 36 benthic

Dream is an offshore flame: Notes on archaeology and belonging
Abstract Set within an archaeology lab in Dunedin, Aotearoa, this creative non‐fiction piece traces the search for dwelling through the meticulous, repetitive labor of everyday practice. The narrative finds belonging not as a static identity, but as a continuous, tactile engagement with the material world.

Advancement into the Arctic Region for Bioactive Sponge Secondary Metabolites
Porifera have long been a reservoir for the discovery of bioactive compounds and drug discovery. Most research in the area has focused on sponges from tropical and temperate waters, but more recently the focus has shifted to the less accessible colder ...

We compare simulated annealing (SA, Marxan) and integer linear programming (ILP, prioritizr) to evaluate their performance in developing spatial conservation priorities for the proposed Weddell Sea Marine Protected Area Phase 1. While both approaches identify largely overlapping priority areas, ILP consistently produces more compact and cost‐efficient ...

Two new species of calcareous sponges (Porifera: Calcarea) from the deep Antarctic Eckström Shelf and a revised list of species found in Antarctic waters [PDF]
The paper reports on two new species of calcareous sponges (Porifera, Calcarea) from the Antarctic Weddell Sea, Clath-rina brandtae sp. nov. and Leucetta delicata sp. nov., collected at 600 m depth during the ANT XXIV/2-SYSTCO expe-dition in January 2008.

Macroscopic characteristics facilitate identification of common Antarctic glass sponges (Porifera, Hexactinellida, Rossellidae) [PDF]
Glass sponges (Porifera, Hexactinellida) are conspicuous habitat-forming members of many Antarctic shelf communities. Despite their ecological importance, in-situ species identification remains problematic as it is traditionally based on micro- scopic ...
