The fate of primary production in Antarctic sea ice: the role of metazoan grazers.
Crustaceans are an important component of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. Large numbers live in or close to the sea-ice cover, using it as a refuge from predation and a source... -

Effects of UV radiation on community establishment: a global perspective
Increased ultraviolet radiation (UV-A and/or UV-B) may impact on the establishment and structure of a shallow water benthic invertebrate assemblages. A global experiment in more... -
Biogenic sediment history from diatom remains in cores along Wilkes Land
Preliminary data set contains details of cores processed (eg. sample name/interval, dry weights, reactions, notes) and the methodology used. The future data set will document... -
Microalgal Biodiversity at Antarctica
A collection of about 20 isolates of Antarctic microalgae from the Windmill Islands region, around Casey Station has been established in the University of Malaya Algae Culture... -

Antarctic diatom silicification diminishes under ocean acidification
This data set was collected during an ocean acidification mesocosm experiment performed at Davis Station, Antarctica during the 2014/15 summer season. It includes: - description... -
The effect of global climate change on Antarctic marine diatoms
Antarctic marine diatoms are sensitive to environment change. This project will determine the environmental niches occupied by key diatom species in Antarctic sediments. This... -
