Durvillaea antarctica se caracteriza por presentar al igual que los representantes de las Fucales, una historia de vida sin generación gametófita de vida libre y por poseer reproducción oógama. En este trabajo median...

A new fossil elasmosaurid specimen, MLP 15-I-7-48, from the upper Maastrichtian Sandwich Bluff Member of the López de Bertodano Formation, Vega Island, Archipelago James Ross, Antarctica, is described. The fossil is a w...

Se describe en detalle un nuevo estípite petrificado de Millerocaulis Erasmus ex Tidwell emend. Vera, colectado en afloramientos de edad aptiana de la Formación Cerro Negro en Isla Livingston (Antártida). Este espéci...

We identified six fossil-species of angiosperms based on fossil woods from two small collections from the Beta Member (lower Campanian) of the Santa Marta Formation on James Ross Island: 1) Paraphyllanthoxylon antarcticu...

New petrographic and isotopic data from inoceramid bivalve shells and belemnite rostra from the lower Campanian and belemnite rostra from the mid-upper Maastrichtian of the Marambio Group, James Ross Basin, Antarctica ar...

The seed cone Telemachus is known from several Triassic localities in Gondwana. New specimens from two localities in Antarctica provide additional information about the type species, Telemachus elongatus, based on detail...

Different morphotypes of vertically embedded ammonoid shells are abundant in the 1-km-thick deposits of the Santa Marta Formation, Antarctica, that record the evolution of a deep-water delta system. Vertical shells depos...

Opegrapha edsonii, with soralia and norstictic acid is described.

Notiolofos arquinotiensis is the most abundant terrestrial placental mammal in the Paleogene of the Antarctic continent. Evidence suggests a South American origin of Sparnotheriodontidae, and an allopatric speciation eve...

Expedition cruise vessels travelling to Antarctica offer several educational opportunities, with Citizen Science (CS) projects being the most prominent way to engage participants in polar science. FjordPhyto is a CS proj...

The synthesis of three novel low molecular weight acrylic terpolymers, containing at random sequences of ethyl acrylate, acrylic acid and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide, catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase was successfu...

Introduction: Large wildfires were historically absent in the forests of Tierra del Fuego, southern Argentina. This has changed in recent decades as humans have increased ignition sources, and warmer, drier periods have ...

In this study, we describe, for the first time, the genetic composition of the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina (SES) breeding colony at Potter Peninsula (PP) (King George Island, Antarctica) based on a fragment o...

Tree growth is one of the main variables needed for forest management planning. The use of simple models containing traditional equations to describe tree growth is common. However, equations that incorporate different f...

Abstract Subglacial water beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet is often funneled via subglacial channels, which inject freshwater into ice‐shelf cavities where it interacts with ocean water. The temporal variability of this...

Antarctica presents one of the most severe environmental conditions for life. Under these circumstances, cryptogams are the dominant photosynthetic organisms, among which we find a great richness of lichens. In Antarctic...

Abstract Enhanced Antarctic ice sheet mass loss yields ocean surface freshening, cooling and sea ice expansion, which result in changes in the atmospheric conditions. Using the Southern Ocean Freshwater Input from Antarc...

Abandoned rookeries belonging to any of the Pygoscelis species are very particular taphocoenosis, usually preserved due to the accumulations of bones, pebbles, and guano year after year in the same nesting area, that con...

Abstract The upwelling of warm Circumpolar Deep Water is a key process in the global climate system, transporting heat, nutrients, and carbon poleward towards Antarctic ice shelves. Here we use physical and chemical seaw...

Knowledge of the food web structure and complexity are central to better understand ecosystem functioning. A food-web approach includes both species and energy flows among them, providing a natural framework for characte...

The book details for the first time all past archaeological work in Antarctica, relating to both its use for conservation and research purposes, drawing on published, unpublished and oral information. This work has addre...
