Limno-terrestrial diatom flora in two stream valleys near Arctowski Station, King George Island, Antarctica Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise Universiteit Antwerpen
Diatom communities sampled in the vicinity of the Polish Antarctic Arctowski Station (King George Island, South Shetland Islands) have been investigated. Soil and sediment samples were collected from Petrified Forest Creek and Ornithologist Creek valleys. A total of 98 diatom taxa belonging to 30 different genera were recorded in the counts. Nine taxa have a marine origin but all together constitute only 0.14% of all counted valves. Three ...
Altitude and seasonality impact on sleep in Antarctica Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the effects of seasonality and altitude on sleep in extreme Antarctic conditions.
METHODS: During summer and winter periods, 24 h of actimetric recordings were obtained at two different research stations, Dumont d'Urville (sea level altitude) and Concordia (corrected altitude 12,467 ft or 3800 m).
RESULTS: During daytime, there were no altitude- or season-related differences in time spent at ...
