Grass is not always greener: enablers and barriers of non-native species governance and management in Antarctica

By |

Increasing human activity and climate change in Antarctica may increase the rates of non-native species introduction and establishment, resulting in potentially irreversible changes in marine and terrestrial ecological communities. The […] The post Grass is not always greener: enablers and barriers of non-native species governance and management in Antarctica appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.

The effects of feeding guild, seasonality, and warming on the gut microbiomes of Antarctic echinoderms

By |

Background Antarctic marine food webs are expected to be significantly impacted by future climate change. In particular, the recent rapid regional warming in the West Antarctic Peninsula has, and will […] The post The effects of feeding guild, seasonality, and warming on the gut microbiomes of Antarctic echinoderms appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.

Developmental and transcriptomic responses of Hawaiian bobtail squid early stages to ocean warming and acidification

By |

Cephalopods play a central ecological role across all oceans and depths. However, under the current climate crisis, their physiology and behaviour are impacted, and we are beginning to comprehend the […] The post Developmental and transcriptomic responses of Hawaiian bobtail squid early stages to ocean warming and acidification appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.

Giant iceberg behaviour impacts regional biogeochemical cycling in the Southern Ocean

By |

Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and influence Southern Ocean carbon […] The post Giant iceberg behaviour impacts regional biogeochemical cycling in the Southern Ocean appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
