  • Responses of Antarctic Tundra Ecosystem to Climate Change and Human Activity
    PAPERS on GLOBAL CHANGE, 17, 43–52, 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10190-010-0004-4 RESPONSES OF ANTARCTIC TUNDRA ECOSYSTEM TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN ACTIVITY MARIA OLECH Institute of Botany, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 27, 31-501 Cracow, Poland, Department of Antarctic Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Ustrzycka 10/12, 02-141 Warsaw, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Over the last couple of years the Antarctic Peninsula region has been one of the fastest warming regions on the Earth. Rapidly proceeding deglaciation uncovers new areas for colonisation and formation of Antarctic tundra communities. The most evi- dent dynamics, i.e. changes in both biodiversity and structure of tundra communities, are observed in the forefi elds of retreating glaciers. This paper presents examples of changes in biodiversity and in the direction and rate of succession changes taking place due to climate warming compounded by synanthropization in the maritime Antarctic. KEY WORDS: Antarctic, climate change, colonisation, tundra ecosystem, bio- diversity, alien species. INTRODUCTION Development of vegetation in the Antarctic is limited to ice-free surfaces of the land, which account for only a few percent (2–5%) of the total area. The Antarctic tundra ecosystem is mainly made up of cryptogams, i.e. lichens, bryophytes, algae and fungi, while at the same time it is extremely defi cient in vascular plants, of which only two species are found: a grass Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poace- ae) and Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth). Bartl. (Caryophyllaceae). Occurrence of both species is limited to the climatically favourable sites in the maritime Antarctic (Olech 2002).

This ice loss is predicted to continue during loss and accelerated marine-terminating glacier retreat dur- the 21st century (Meier et al., 2007; Radic´ et al., 2014), ing the past 2 decades. However, it is unknown whether and changes are expected to be particularly marked in the this retreat is exceptional longer term and/or whether it has Arctic, where warming of up to 8 ◦C is forecast (IPCC, persisted since 2010.

  • New and Previously Known Species of Copepoda and Cladocera (Crustacea) from Svalbard, Norway – Who Are They and Where Do They Come From?
    Fauna norvegica 2018 Vol. 38: 18–29. New and previously known species of Copepoda and Cladocera (Crustacea) from Svalbard, Norway – who are they and where do they come from? Inta Dimante-Deimantovica1,4, Bjørn Walseng1, Elena S. Chertoprud2,3, and Anna A. Novichkova2,3 Dimante-Deimantovica I, Walseng B, Chertoprud ES and Novichkova A. 2018. New and previously known species of Copepoda and Cladocera (Crustacea) from Svalbard, Norway – who are they and where do they come from? Fauna norvegica 38: 18–29. Arctic landscapes are characterised by an immense number of fresh and brackish water habitats – lakes, ponds and puddles. Due to a rather harsh environment, there is a limited number of species inhabiting these ecosystems. Recent climate-driven regime shifts impact and change Arctic biological communities. New species may appear, and existing communities may become supressed or even disappear, depending on how ongoing changes match their ecological needs. This study provides data on presently existing and probably recently arrived fresh and brackish water microcrustacean species in the Norwegian High Arctic - Svalbard archipelago. The study focused on two taxonomic groups, Cladocera and Copepoda and altogether we found seven taxa new for Svalbard: Alona werestschagini, Polyphemus pediculus, Diaptomus sp., Diacyclops abyssicola, Nitokra spinipes, Epactophanes richardi and Geeopsis incisipes. Compared with an existing overview for the area, our study increased the number of species by more than 20 %, and some of the new species have never been found that far north. Finally, we present a complete and critically updated revised species list of fresh and brackish water cladocerans and copepods for Svalbard.

Monthly samples were collected with 0.1 mm mesh closing nets hauled vertically through five con tiguous discrete depths between the surface and ~2000 m. D. pseudodiscophora occurred predomi nantly from the base of the thermocline to a depth of 500 m. O. haddoni and M. skogsbergi occurred somewhat deeper at depths of 250 to 1000 m, but were also moderately abundant below 1000 m. Sampling was undertaken both by day and by night during December 1996, April and October 1997 to assess diel vertical migration activity, but revealed no appreciable day/night differences in the ver tical distributions of the ostracods. All the instars sampled [instars II through VIII (adults) of D. pseu dodiscophora and O. haddoni, and instars III through VIII (adults) of M. skogsbergi] were collected throughout the entire period of the study. All three species showed evidence of ontogenetic vertical migration—the ranges of these migrations being from 300-1000 m in D.

Yet they have no obligate dispersive phase in their life-cycle. Populations are thus inevitably isolated, and allopatric speciation and high regional diversity are inevitable; cosmopolitan distributions are considered to be unlikely or non-existent.

    Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung Universität Potsdam, Institut für Erd- und Umweltwissenschaften Glaciomarine sedimentation at the continental margin of Prydz Bay, East Antarctica: implications on palaeoenvironmental changes during the Quaternary Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) in der Wissenschaftsdisziplin “Geowissenschaften” eingereicht an der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Potsdam von Andreas Borchers Potsdam, 30. November 2010 Das Höchste, wozu der Mensch gelangen kann, ist das Erstaunen. J. W. von Goethe Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the support and help of numerous people to whom I would like to express my gratitude. First, I am highly indebted to PD Dr. Bernhard Diekmann for the possibility to conduct this work under his supervision and for his constant support, whenever discussion or advice was needed. I appreciated his vast expertise and knowledge of marine geology, sedimentology and Quaternary Science that he so enthusiastically shared with me, adding considerably to my experience. Besides being a full-hearted geologist, he is also a great guitarist, which I enjoyed during the past years, especially during the expeditions I had the chance to participate. I would also like to thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Wolfgang Hubberten for his general support and understanding, giving me the opportunity to broaden my knowledge of marine geology in the field. Using the infrastructure of the institute in Potsdam, Bremerhaven and on the world’s oceans has made a major contribution realizing this work. I am deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Ulrike Herzschuh and Dr. Gerhard Kuhn who provided a large part of assistance by discussions, constructive advices and moral support.

  • Grain Size Distribution of Bedload Transport in a Glaciated Catchment (Baranowski Glacier, King George Island, Western Antarctica)
    water Article Grain Size Distribution of Bedload Transport in a Glaciated Catchment (Baranowski Glacier, King George Island, Western Antarctica) Joanna Sziło 1,* and Robert Józef Bialik 2 1 Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-452 Warsaw, Poland 2 Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-106 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-504-595-266 Received: 20 February 2018; Accepted: 20 March 2018; Published: 23 March 2018 Abstract: The relationships among grain size distribution (GSD), water discharge, and GSD parameters are investigated to identify regularities in the evolution of two gravel-bed proglacial troughs: Fosa Creek and Siodło Creek. In addition, the potential application of certain parameters obtained from the GSD analysis for the assessment of the formation stage of both creeks is comprehensively discussed. To achieve these goals, River Bedload Traps (RBTs) were used to collect the bedload, and a sieving method for dry material was applied to obtain the GSDs. Statistical comparisons between both streams showed significant differences in flow velocity; however, the lack of significant differences in bedload transport clearly indicated that meteorological conditions are among the most important factors in the erosive process for this catchment. In particular, the instability of flow conditions during high water discharge resulted in an increase in the proportion of medium and coarse gravels. The poorly sorted fine and very fine gravels observed in Siodło Creek suggest that this trough is more susceptible to erosion and less stabilized than Fosa Creek. The results suggest that GSD analyses can be used to define the stage of development of riverbeds relative to that of other riverbeds in polar regions.

This species closely resembles T. chotkarakde Bird & Bamber, 2000 and T. rawhitia Bird, 2011 in having the uropod with the endopod biarticulate and the exopod uniarticulate, but differs from them in the following characters: pereonite 4 as long as pereonite 5; mandibles lacking the molar; the number of simple setae on the antenna, propodal palm, and dactylus of pereopods 1–3; the number of spiniform setae on the cutting surface of the chelipedal dactylus; and the number of setae on the pleopods. We also determined a nearly complete nucleotide sequence for the 18S rRNA gene in T. japonica. In both sexes, Tanaopsis japonica sp. nov. bears serial ridges and grooves on the chela, antennule, and antenna.
