1. Pterodactyloid pterosaur bones from Cretaceous deposits of the Antarctic Peninsula
Abstract Fossil vertebrates from Antarctica are considerably rare, hampering our understanding of the evolutionary history of the biota from that continent. For several austral summers, the PALEOANTAR project has been carrying out fieldwork in the Antarctic Peninsula in search for fossils, particularly Cretaceous vertebrates. Among the specimens recovered so

2. The variability of the subantarctic front and the Southern Hemisphere atmospheric jet
Abstract The latitudinal variations of the Subantarctic Front (SAF) and Southern Hemisphere atmospheric jet were investigated for the period of 1993-2016. Zonal wind velocity, sea surface height and temperature data were used to identify these features over the South Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian Oceans individually. During this period, the atmospheric

3. Mapeamento de Estressores no Trabalho de Expedicionários do Programa Antártico Brasileiro (PROANTAR)
RESUMO O programa Antártico Brasileiro (PROANTAR) realiza expedições à Antártica, onde militares e civis são expostos a estressores. A presente pesquisa mapeou os estressores ambientais, ocupacionais e interpessoais percebidos por participantes do PROANTAR. Uma amostra de 38 pessoas, separadas em dois grupos, foi avaliada no início e final de uma expe

4. Effects of atmospheric oscillations on infectious diseases: the case of Chagas disease in Chile
BACKGROUND Currently, there is an increasing global interest for the study of how infectious diseases could be linked to climate and weather variability. The Chagas disease was described in 1909 by Carlos Chagas, and is caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The Chagas disease is considered one of the biggest concerns in public health in Lat

5. Monitoramento de Longo Prazo e Climatologia de Campos Estratosféricos quando da Ocorrência dos Eventos de Influência do Buraco de Ozônio Antártico sobre o Sul do Brasil
Resumo O monitoramento de longo prazo dos eventos de Influência do Buraco de Ozônio Antártico sobre o Sul do Brasil foi realizado no período de 35 anos entre 1979 e 2013 e calculada a climatologia e anomalias dos campos estratosféricos quando de sua ocorrência. Para isso, foram analisados os dados da coluna total de ozônio (CTO) obtidos através de Es

6. Safety of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) as food source: its initial fluoride toxicity study
Abstract Antarctic Krill, rich in many nutrients, is supposed to be one of the strategic food sources. However, it is not acceptable for direct consumption as traditional food, as its high content of fluoride is harmful to adults and children. Therefore, the safety of fluoride residue in Antarctic krill for food production should be investigated. In this re

7. Stranded humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) (Cetacea: Balaenopteridae) in Paraná River Delta, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Comments on the occurrence of marine mammals in the La Plata River Basin
Abstract The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is distributed among most oceans and seas of the globe (except Mediterranean Sea). These whales migrate from feeding regions in the Antarctic waters to breeding areas in tropical and subtropical seas. Here we report the stranding of a female young humpback whale, which was founded dead in the vicinity of t

8. Isolation and molecular characterization of Thraustochytrium strain isolated from Antarctic Peninsula and its biotechnological potential in the production of fatty acids
ABSTRACT Thraustochytrids are unicellular protists belonging to the Labyrinthulomycetes class, which are characterized by the presence of a high lipid content that could replace conventional fatty acids. They show a wide geographic distribution, however their diversity in the Antarctic Region is rather scarce. The analysis based on the complete sequence of 1

9. Comparative genome-wide polymorphic microsatellite markers in Antarctic penguins through next generation sequencing
Abstract Microsatellites are valuable molecular markers for evolutionary and ecological studies. Next generation sequencing is responsible for the increasing number of microsatellites for non-model species. Penguins of the Pygoscelis genus are comprised of three species: Adélie (P. adeliae), Chinstrap (P. antarcticus) and Gentoo penguin (P. papua), all dist

10. Occurrence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica
ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi make up an important ecological niche in ecosystems, and knowledge of their diversity in extreme environments is still incipient. The objective of this work was to evaluate the density and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the soil of King George Island in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, Antarctica. Fo

11. VALIDAÇÃO DE UM MÉTODO ANALÍTICO PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE MARCADORES ORGÂNICOS GEOQUÍMICOS EM AMOSTRAS DE SEDIMENTOS MARINHOS
This paper describes the validation of an alternative method for determination of n-alkanes, sterols (OLs) and n-alkanols (ALCs) in marine sediments, through adaptation of clean up. The method reduced the material consumption, the discards produced and working time. The recovery percentages were 60-129% for n-alkanes, 52-67% for OLs and 43-141% for ALCs, acc

12. AVALIAÇÃO DOS TEORES DE Pb, Cd, Sn, Co, Hg, Mo E As EM SOLOS DA PENÍNSULA FILDES - ANTÁRTICA
Antarctic Continent is one of the few places that has not been explored at all, but studies show that this place is suffering interference by human activities. Therefore, monitoring of this region becomes very important. After optimization and verification of the methodology, the concentrations of Pb, Cd, Sn, Co, Hg, Mo and As in soil samples collected in th
