Southern Ocean organisms are considered particularly vulnerable to Ocean acidification
(OA), as they inhabit cold waters where calcite-aragonite saturation states are naturally low …

Submarine canyons are often morphologically complex features in the deep sea contributing
to habitat heterogeneity. In addition, they act as major conduits of organic matter from the …

Despite increased research over the last decade, diversity patterns in Antarctic deep-sea
benthic taxa and their driving forces are only marginally known. Depth-related patterns of …

Ecosystems and their biota operate on cyclic rhythms, often entrained by predictable, small-
scale changes in their natural environment. Recording and understanding these rhythms …

The accepted paradigm for reproduction in Antarctic marine species is one where oogenesis
takes 18 months to 2 years, and a bimodal egg-size distribution where two cohorts of eggs …

Arctic marine ecosystems are undergoing a series of major rapid adjustments to the regional
amplification of climate change, but there is a paucity of knowledge about how changing …

 Abstract In present study, a previously unidentified but frequently encountered species of
deep-sea protobranch, Yoldiellahaimaensissp. nov., is described new to science from the …

Sperm ultrastructure of nine species of protobranch bivalves, representing three of four
extant orders (Solemyida, Nuculida, Nuculanida), is discussed. Greatest diversity occurs in …

Macrobenthic communities of the Beagle Channel (BC), Garibaldi Fjord (GF), and the Shelf
off the eastern entrance of the Beagle Channel (S) have been investigated. Seven giant box …

Gradual increases in mean ocean temperature are one of many broad-scale changes
currently experienced in marine systems in response to anthropogenic forcing. Extreme …
