Buellia subfrigida sp. nov. (Lichens, Buelliaceae) from Lutzow-Holm Bay area and Prince Olav Coast, East Antarctica- The asexual sorediate species forming a species pair with B. frigida Darb. by Masakane Inoue

“…Buellia subfrigida growing on rocks in seasonally inundated habitats at the Lutzow-Holm Bay area and the Prince Olav Coast of East Antarctica is described as new. Except for the presence of sorediate thallus, it is morphologically and chemically similar to B. frigida which is widely distributed in the continental Antarctic. …”

Time-lapse imagery of Adélie penguins reveals differential winter strategies and breeding site occupation. by Caitlin Black, Colin Southwell, Louise Emmerson, Daniel Lunn, Tom Hart

“…In contrast, Adélie penguins breeding in East Antarctica were not observed at the colonies during winter, suggesting that Adélie penguins undergo differential winter strategies in the marginal ice zone on the WAP compared to those in East Antarctica. …”

Scientific echosounder data provide a predator’s view of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) by M. J. Cox, A. J. R. Smith, A. S. Brierley, J. M. Potts, S. Wotherspoon, A. Terauds

“…Abstract Raw acoustic data were collected in East Antarctica from the RSV Aurora Australis during two surveys: the Krill Availability, Community Trophodynamics and AMISOR Surveys (KACTAS) and the Krill Acoustics and Oceanography Survey (KAOS) in the East Antarctic (centre coordinate 66.5° S, 63° E). …”

Accelerated ice-sheet mass loss in Antarctica from 18-year satellite laser ranging measurements by Shuanggen Jin, Mosta Abd-Elbaky, Guping Feng

“…Results show that the ice mass is losing with -36±13 Gt/y in Antarctica, -42±11 Gt/y in the West Antarctica and 6±10 Gt/y in the East Antarctica from 1993 to 2011. The ice mass variations from the SLR 5×5 have a good agreement with the GRACE 5×5, GRACE 5×5 (1&2) and GRACE (60×60) for the entire continent since 2003, but degree 5 from SLR is not sufficient to quantify ice losses in West and East Antarctica, respectively. …”

Identification of circovirus genome in a Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarcticus) and Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) on the Antarctic peninsula by Levy, H, Fiddaman, SR, Djurhuus, A, Black, CE, Kraberger, S, Smith, AL, Hart, T, Varsani, A

“…These two PenCV genomes (length of 1986 nucleotides) share > 99% genome-wide nucleotide identity with each other and share ~87% genome-wide nucleotide identity with the PenCV sequences described from Adélie Penguins at Cape Crozier ~4400 km away in East Antarctica. We did not find any evidence of recombination among PenCV sequences. …”

“…We address this limitation using a high-resolution model for Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctica). We show that contrary to dynamic thinning of the region’s ice streams following ice-shelf collapse, the largest ice stream, Jutulstraumen, thickens by 700 m despite lying on a retrograde bed slope. …”
