Biodiversity loss has spurred the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research over a range of ecosystems. In Antarctica, however, the relationship of taxonomic and functional diversity with ecosystem properties (e.g., community biomass) has received less attention, despite the presence of sharp a...

El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar qué impacto causó en la sociedad argentina la participación del país en el rescate a la expedición de Otto Nordenskjöld (1901- 1903). Para esto han sido revisadas las publicaciones realizadas entre 1903 y enero de 1904 en los Diarios La Nación, el Diar...

This work is mainly focused on analyzing the impact Argentina’s participation in the rescue of Otto Nordenskjöld’s (1901- 1903) expedition had on the Argentine society. For it, publications from the La Nación, La Prensa newspapers and Caras y Caretas magazine between 1903 and January 1904 were re...

Se analizaron los avistamientos de Eubalaena australis en aguas chilenas entre los años 1964 y 2008. Durante estos 44 años se han documentado 124 avistamientos con 232 ejemplares incluyendo a 39 crías. La distribución de los registros muestra tres zonas geográficas: i) aguas al norte de los 47°S,...

Sighting data of Eubalaena australis from Chilean waters from 1964 to 2008 were analyzed. During these 44 years, 124 sightings of 232 whales were recorded, including 39 calves. Whales were sighted in three main areas: i) north of 47°S, ii) Magellan Strait and Beagle channel, and iii) Drake Passag...

In a chemical analysis of the red seaweed Plocamium cartilagineum collected in Antarctic Peninsula, four polyhalogenated monoterpenes were isolated. Their structures were established by spectroscopic techniques. Two of them are acyclic monoterpenes and the others are cyclic. We report the antimic...

First videographic indication of an Antarctic cold seep ecosystem was recently obtained from the collapsed Larsen B ice shelf, western Weddell Sea (Domack et al., 2005). Within the framework of the R/V Polarstern expedition ANTXXIII-8, we revisited this area for geochemical, microbiological and f...

Oceanic islands lacking connections to other land are extremely isolated from sources of potential colonists and have acquired their biota mainly through dispersal from geographically distant areas. Hence, isolated island biota constitutes interesting models to infer biogeographical mechanisms of...
