Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.

Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.

Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.

Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.

Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.

Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.

Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

Survival at low temperatures was studied in three species of Tardigrada from Muhlig-Hofmannfjella, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Both hydrated and dehydrated specimens of Echiniscus jenningsi, Macrobiotus furciger and Diphascon chilenense had high survival rates following exposure to -22 degrees C for ca. 600 days, and dehydrated specimens following 3040 days at this temperature. In hydrated E. jenningsi, mortality increased with the duration of exposure from 7 to 150 days at -80 degrees C, while mortalities of the two other species did not change. Hydrated specimens of all species were rapidly killed at -180 degrees C, but all species exhibited good survivorship in the dehydrated state after 14 days at -180 degrees C. In conclusion, hydrated tardigrades are able to survive extended periods at low temperatures, and dehydrated specimens are even better adapted to survive overwintering on Antarctic nunataks.

Sømme, L., & Block, W. (1982). Cold Hardiness of Collembola at Signy Island, Maritime Antarctic. Oikos, 38(2), 168–176. https://doi.org/10.2307/3544016

The cold hardiness of two Antarctic species of Collembola, Cryptopygus antarcticus Willem and Parisotoma octooculata (Willem), was studied in field fresh, starved and low temperature acclimated specimens at Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Supercooling points of both species clearly fell in a high group (HG) and a low group (LG) with a division at ca. -15°C. Field fresh specimens mainly had HG supercooling points, while starvation at 5° and 15°C greatly increased the number of LG animals. Further evidence of the relation between supercooling and feeding status was obtained in C. antarcticus. Specimens fed moss turf homogenate almost entirely returned to HG supercooling points, indicating the presence of efficient nucleators in this substrate. In specimens fed purified green algae a high proportion of LG supercooling points was retained, which suggests a lack of nucleators in this kind of food. Increased ability of LG specimens to supercool was demonstrated in C. antarcticus following acclimation at -5°C, and in P. octooculata at 0°C. In C. antarcticus an increase in concentrations of cryoprotective substances took place at -5°C concurrent with the lowering of the mean supercooling point. The main substances of the multicomponent cryoprotectant system of this species were trehalose, mannitol and glycerol. Chill-coma temperatures of specimens collected in the field differed in C. antarcticus and P. octooculata with mean values of -8.3° and -4.8°C, respectively. P. octooculata was less resistant to anaerobic conditions than C. antarcticus. All specimens of the former species were killed within 8 d in nitrogen at 0°C, while ca. 30% of C. antarcticus specimens survived after 28 d.

The cold hardiness of four species was studied in respect of supercooling ability, cryoprotective substances, chill-coma temperatures and survival under anaerobiosis. The effects of low temperature acclimation and starvation on cold hardiness were examined experimentally. (2) Mean supercooling points of field animals ranged from -6.1° to -28.8°C during Jan-Mar 1980. In Nanorchestes antarcticus (Strandtmann) and Alaskozetes antarcticus (Michael), a bimodal distribution of individual supercooling points occurred with the low group (LG) consisting of animals without gut nucleators. In Stereotydeus villosus (Trouessart) and Gamasellus racovitzai (Trouessart) only a high group (HG) was present in the supercooling-point distributions. (3) In all species, except the predatory G. racovitzai, starvation combined with low temperature exposure for various time periods lowered the mean supercooling point. This was associated with increased concentrations of glycerol in the body fluid. Glucose, ribitol and mannitol together with straight chain hydrocarbons were also detected in the extracts by GLC techniques. (4) Chill-coma temperatures varied from -4.5° to -8.0°C. (5) Under anoxia at 0°C, survival of A. antarcticus was greater than that of G. racovitzai, with the later nymphal stages being slightly more resistant than adults.

The concentrations of DDE, PCB, hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and mercury were determined in samples from chinstrap penguin Pygoscelis antarctica, macaroni penguin Eudyptes chrysolophus, snow petrel Pagodroma nivea, Cape pigeon Daption capense, southern fulmar Fulmarus glacialoides, south polar skua Catharacta maccormicki and brown skua Catharacta lonnbergi. The birds were taken in central parts of Vestjella in Dronning Maud Land in February 1977 and at Bouvetøya in the South Atlantic in February 1977 and January 1979. Low levels of DDE, PCB and HCB were found in the two species of penguins, snow petrel, Cape pigeon and southern fulmar, while significantly higher levels were found in south polar and brown skua. The lowest mercury levels were found in the two penguin species and snow petrel. Cape pigeon, southern fulmar and south polar skua form an intermediate group, while the highest mercury levels were found in brown skua. It is assumed that there is a connection between the present findings and the migration pattern of the different birds. The results seem to be in agreement with previous investigations.

The oribatid mite Maudheimia wilsoni Dalenius was found to be numerous on the underside of stones at Jutulsessen (72-degrees-S, 3-degrees-E) in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Daily temperature fluctuations of the microhabitat from as high as 19-degrees-C and to as low as -17-degrees-C were observed during the austral summer. Optimal activity of the mites occurred at 10-degrees-C. Even in January the mean supercooling point of adult mites was as low as - 30.8 +/- 4.7-degrees-C. Haemolymph osmolality ranged from 500 to 800 mOsmol and thermal hystersis freezing points from -4.7 to - 6.1-degrees-C. Adult mites had a mean water content of 43.6% and a water loss rate of 0.12 mug h-1 at 15-degrees-C and 10% relative humidity.

Two Antarctic arthropods,Alaskozetes antarcticus (Acari) andCryptopygus antarcticus (Collembola) possess the ability to supercool to −30°C, but the realisation of this potential is dependent on starvation. The mite contains glycerol in a concentration of about 1% fresh weight.
