The absence of women's scientific contributions in core UK pre‐university science qualifications

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite their groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the natural world and the universe, women's roles in biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, environmental science and geology remain largely absent from standard educational specifications in the United Kingdom (UK), particularly at Key Stage 4 (KS4) and Key Stage 5 (KS5), or ...

Identifying appropriate sampling and modelling approaches for analysing distributional patterns of Antarctic terrestrial arthropods along the Victoria Land latitudinal gradient [PDF]

, 2010
Biotic communities in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are relatively simple and often lack higher trophic levels (e. g. predators); thus, it is often assumed that species' distributions are mainly affected by abiotic factors such as climatic conditions,

Ground‐truthing of satellite imagery to assess seabird colony size: A test using Adélie penguins

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colonies can be detected from space using very high‐resolution (VHR; 0.3–0.6 m resolution) satellite imagery, as the contrast between their guano and the surrounding terrain enables colony identification even when ...

Characterization of Staphylococcus intermedius Group Isolates Associated with Animals from Antarctica and Emended Description of Staphylococcus delphini

Microorganisms, 2020
Members of the genus Staphylococcus are widespread in nature and occupy a variety of niches, however, staphylococcal colonization of animals in the Antarctic environment has not been adequately studied.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Basal reflectance and melt rates across the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, from grounding line to ice shelf front

Journal of Glaciology
We present a 1000 km transect of phase-sensitive radar measurements of ice thickness, basal reflection strength, basal melting and ice-column deformation across the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS).

A global meta‐analysis of non‐lethal mammal browsing control in forests

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing resource demand, desire to sequester atmospheric carbon, and conservation goals are driving a need for forests to be managed more effectively in the face of numerous challenges. One such challenge is damage perpetrated by browsing mammals, which can cause substantial financial and ecological impacts.

Pared-down landscapes in Antarctica [PDF]

, 1971
The frigid-arid climate that now prevails in ice-free parts of Victoria Land, Antarctica, inhibits glacial erosion. If certain landscapes, more or less remote from the great troughs of outlet glaciers, have been glaciated in the past, as seems very ...

Emergence of the Shackleton Range from beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet due to glacial erosion [PDF]

, 2014
This paper explores the long-term evolution of a subglacial fjord landscape in the Shackleton Range, Antarctica. We propose that prolonged ice-sheet erosion across a passive continental margin caused troughs to deepen and lower the surrounding ice-sheet ...
