Management Plans Measure 1 (2016) Management Plan For Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 116 NEW COLLEGE VALLEY, CAUGHLEY BEACH, CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND 1. Description of values to be protected An area at Cape Bird, Ross Island was originally designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) No. 10, Caughley Beach by Recommendations XIII-8 (1985) and Specially Protected Area (SPA) No. 20, New College Valley by Recommendation XIII-12 (1985) after proposals by New Zealand on the grounds that the area contains some of the richest stands of moss and associated microflora and fauna in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This is the only area on Ross Island where protection is specifically given to plant assemblages and associated ecosystems. SPA No. 20 was originally enclosed within SSSI No. 10 in order to provide more stringent access conditions to this part of the Area. SSSI No. 10 was incorporated into SPA No. 20 by Measure 1 (2000), with the former Area of SPA No. 20 becoming a Restricted Zone within the SPA. The boundaries of the Area were revised from the boundaries in the original recommendations, in view of improved mapping and to follow more closely the ridges enclosing the catchment of New College Valley. Caughley Beach itself was adjacent to, but never a part of, the original Area, and for this reason the entire Area was renamed as New College Valley, which was within both of the original sites. The Area was redesignated by Decision 1 (2002) as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 116 and a revised Management Plan was adopted through Measure 1 (2006) and Measure 1 (2011). The boundaries of the Area closely follow the ridges enclosing the catchment of New College Valley and cover approximately 0.33 km2. Moss in this Area is restricted to localised areas of water-flushed ground, with cushions and carpets up to 20 m2 in area. A diverse range of algal species also inhabit streams in the Area, and springtails, mites and nematodes are plentiful on water surfaces and underneath rocks. The absence of lichens makes the species assemblage in this Area unique on Ross Island. The susceptibility of mosses to disturbance by trampling, sampling, pollution or introductions of non-native species is such that the Area requires long-term special protection. Designation of this Area is intended to ensure examples of this habitat type are adequately protected from visitors

  • Metabolic Response of Antarctic Pteropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) to Food Deprivation and Regional Productivity
    Vol. 441: 129–139, 2011 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published November 15 doi: 10.3354/meps09358 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Metabolic response of Antarctic pteropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda) to food deprivation and regional productivity Amy E. Maas1,*, Leanne E. Elder1, Heidi M. Dierssen2, Brad A. Seibel1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island 02881, USA 2Department of Marine Sciences, University of Connecticut, Groton, Connecticut 06340, USA ABSTRACT: Pteropods are an abundant group of pelagic gastropods that, although temporally and spatially patchy in the Southern Ocean, can play an important role in food webs and biochem- ical cycles. We found that the metabolic rate in Limacina helicina antarctica is depressed (~23%) at lower mean chlorophyll a (chl a) concentrations in the Ross Sea. To assess the specific impact of food deprivation on these animals, we quantified aerobic respiration and ammonia (NH3) produc- tion for 2 dominant Antarctic pteropods, L. helicina antarctica and Clione limacina antarctica. Pteropods collected from sites west of Ross Island, Antarctica were held in captivity for a period of 1 to 13 d to determine their metabolic response to laboratory-induced food deprivation. L. helicina antarctica reduced oxygen consumption by ~20% after 4 d in captivity. Ammonia excretion was not significantly affected, suggesting a greater reliance on protein as a substrate for cellular res- piration during starvation. The oxygen consumption rate of the gymnosome, C. li macina antarc- tica, was reduced by ~35% and NH3 excretion by ~55% after 4 d without prey. Our results indi- cate that there is a link between the large scale chl a concentrations of the Ross Sea and the baseline metabolic rate of pteropods which impacts these animals across multiple seasons.

Data collected by the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument on the Curiosity Rover can be integrated with Mars analog work in order to better understand the fixation and mobility of nitrogen on Mars, and thus its availability to putative biology. In particular, the relationship between nitrate and other soluble salts may help reveal the timing of nitrogen fixation and post-depositional behavior of nitrate on Mars. In addition, in situ measurements of nitrogen abundance and isotopic composition may be used to model atmospheric conditions on early Mars. Methods: The data presented are from analyses of solid Martian drilled and scooped samples by the Sam- ple Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity Rover.

  • Characterization of Heavy Metals Resistant Heterotrophic Bacteria from Soils in the Windmill Islands Region, Wilkes Land, East Antarctica
    vol. 35, no. 4, pp. 593–607, 2014 doi: 10.2478/popore−2014−0028 Characterization of heavy metals resistant heterotrophic bacteria from soils in the Windmill Islands region, Wilkes Land, East Antarctica Iva TOMOVA, Margarita STOILOVA−DISHEVA and Evgenia VASILEVA−TONKOVA* Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Acad. Georgi Bonchev Str., Bl. 26, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria * corresponding author <[email protected]> This article is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Victoria Gesheva gratefully Abstract: In this study, selected heavy metals resistant heterotrophic bacteria isolated from soil samples at the Windmill Islands region, Wilkes Land (East Antarctica), were character− ized. Phylogenetic analysis revealed affiliation of isolates to genera Bacillus, Lysini− bacillus, Micrococcus and Stenotrophomonas. The strains were found to be psychrotolerant and halotolerant, able to tolerate up to 10% NaCl in the growth medium. The Minimum In− hibitory Concentration of the seven heavy metals Cr, Cu, Ni, Co, Cd, Zn, and Pb was deter− mined in solid media for each bacterial strain. Gram−positive Vi−2 strain and Gram−negative Vi−4 strain showed highest multiply heavy metals resistance, and Vi−3 and Vi−4 strains showed multi−antibiotic resistance to more than a half of the 13 used antibiotics. Plasmids were detected only in Gram−negative Vi−4 strain. The bacteria were able to produce differ− ent hydrolytic enzymes including industrially important proteases, xylanases, cellulases, and b−glucosidases. High heavy metals resistance of the Antarctic bacteria suggests their potential application for wastewater treatment in cold and temperate climates. Highly sensi− tive to Cd and Co ions Vi−1, Vi−5 and Vi−7 strains would be promising for developing biosensors to detect these most toxic heavy metals in environmental samples.

SMPs are defined such that they would be suffi- ciently long-lived so as to still exist in the cosmos either as Big Bang relics or secondary collision products, and sufficiently massive such that they are typically beyond the reach of any conceiv- able accelerator-based experiment. The discovery of SMPs would address a number of important questions in modern physics, such as the origin and composition of dark matter and the unifi- cation of the fundamental forces. This review outlines the scenarios predicting SMPs and the techniques used at non-collider experiments to look for SMPs in cosmic rays and bound in mat- ter. The limits so far obtained on the fluxes and matter densities of SMPs which possess various detection-relevant properties such as electric and magnetic charge are given.

    Management Plan For Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 116 NEW COLLEGE VALLEY, CAUGHLEY BEACH, CAPE BIRD, ROSS ISLAND 1. Description of values to be protected In 1985, two areas at Cape Bird, Ross Island were designated as SSSI No. 10, Caughley Beach (Recommendation XIII-8 (1985)) and SPA No. 20, New College Valley (Recommendation XIII-12 (1985)), following proposals by New Zealand that these areas should be protected because they contained some of the richest stands of moss and associated microflora and fauna in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This is the only area on Ross Island where protection is specifically given to plant assemblages and associated ecosystems. At that time, SPA No. 20 was enclosed within SSSI No. 10, in order to provide more stringent access conditions to that part of the Area.

    UNDERWATER FIELD GUIDE TO ROSS ISLAND & MCMURDO SOUND, ANTARCTICA: MOLLUSCA nudibranchs, pteropods, gastropods, bivalves, chitons, octopus Peter Brueggeman Photographs: Steve Alexander, Rod Budd/Antarctica New Zealand, Peter Brueggeman, Kirsten Carlson/National Science Foundation, Canadian Museum of Nature (Kathleen Conlan), Shawn Harper, Luke Hunt, Henry Kaiser, Mike Lucibella/National Science Foundation, Adam G Marsh, Jim Mastro, Bruce A Miller, Eva Philipp, Rob Robbins, Steve Rupp/National Science Foundation, Dirk Schories, M Dale Stokes, and Norbert Wu The National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs sponsored Norbert Wu on an Artist's and Writer's Grant project, in which Peter Brueggeman participated. One outcome from Wu's endeavor is this Field Guide, which builds upon principal photography by Norbert Wu, with photos from other photographers, who are credited on their photographs and above. This Field Guide is intended to facilitate underwater/topside field identification from visual characters. Organisms were identified from photographs with no specimen collection, and there can be some uncertainty in identifications solely from photographs. © 1998+; text © Peter Brueggeman; photographs © Steve Alexander, Rod Budd/Antarctica New Zealand Pictorial Collection 159687 & 159713, 2001-2002, Peter Brueggeman, Kirsten Carlson/National Science Foundation, Canadian Museum of Nature (Kathleen Conlan), Shawn Harper, Luke Hunt, Henry Kaiser, Mike Lucibella/National Science Foundation, Adam G Marsh, Jim Mastro, Bruce A Miller, Eva
