Despite being one of the most remote areas on the planet, the Antarctic continent is subject
to anthropogenic influences. The presence of various groups of contaminants, including …

Considering that phytoplankton assemblages are good bioindicators of environmental
conditions, the sensitivity of the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) to climate change, and …

Environmental gradients can provide habitat-specific scenarios for community functional
diversity (FD) that determine the composition of populations on both spatial and temporal …

The presence of medicinal products has been reported in the Antarctic marine environment
but still little is known about the bioaccumulation of these compounds. This study was set up …

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a heterogeneous group of ubiquitous aquatic
microorganisms capable of biomineralizing nano‐sized, membrane‐bound, magnetic iron …

The elemental composition and carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of sedimentary organic
matter (OM) are vital geochemical tools for understanding environments, physical and …

Species sharing resources are predicted to compete, but co-occurring species can avoid
competition through niche partitioning. Here, we investigated the inter-and intra-specific …

Marine biogenic skeletal production is the prevalent source of Ca-carbonate in today's
Antarctic seas. Most information, however, derives from the post-mortem legacy of calcifying …

The main aim of this study was to compare the polychaete communities in two similar polar
areas: an Arctic fjord, Hornsund (Svalbard) and an Antarctic fjord, Ezcurra Inlet (South …

There are important gaps to understand the composition of the fauna associated with
macroalgae, such as, how distinct algal morphology and environmental features, like …
