Microplastics are ubiquitous around the world. Microplastics have been documented around
the Southern Ocean, in coastal sediments and in Antarctic marine organisms, however …

This review aims to understand the environmental impact that tailings produce on the land
and marine ecosystem. Issues related to flora, fauna, and the environment are revised. In the …

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, dibenzofurans (PCDD/F) and their precursors-
pentachlorophenol (PCP) and triclosan (TCS), constitute a group of persistent, highly toxic …

High resolution XRF scanning documented inter-annual paleolimnological changes of a
Subantarctic periglacial lake, during a process of centennial glacier retreat in King George …

Abstract Fildes Peninsula, on King George Island, is among the Antarctic sites with the most
intense human activity and is located in a region strongly influenced by global warming …

Appendicularians are one of the most common animals found within zooplankton
assemblages. They play a very important role as filter feeders but are, unfortunately …

The seasonal availability of food for Antarctic zoobenthic consumers affects, among other
factors, the levels of excreted metabolites that can serve as a source of nitrogen (N) and …

The Antarctic environment has special characteristics that influence the local marine life. The
benthic organisms, adapted to these extreme conditions of life, are subject nowadays to …

Seasonal food availability for benthic feeders in Antarctica can influence the level of
excreted metabolites, which may then be a source of N and P for autotrophs. In this study …

Appendicularians are important but remain poorly studied groups of zooplankton in polar
regions. The present research is based on samples collected in Admiralty Bay (King George …
