Airborne microbial transport limitation to isolated Antarctic soil habitats
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)Dispersal is a critical yet poorly understood factor underlying macroecological patterns in microbial communities1. Airborne microbial transport is assumed to occupy a central role in determining dispersal outcomes2,3, and ... -
Benthic microbial communities of coastal terrestrial and ice shelf Antarctic meltwater ponds.
(Frontiers, 2015)The numerous perennial meltwater ponds distributed throughout Antarctica represent diverse and productive ecosystems central to the ecological functioning of the surrounding ultra oligotrophic environment. The dominant ... -
Characterisation of bacterioplankton communities in the meltwater ponds of Bratina Island, Victoria Land, Antarctica
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2014)A unique collection of Antarctic aquatic environments (meltwater ponds) lies in close proximity on the rock and sediment-covered undulating surface of the McMurdo Ice Shelf, near Bratina Island (Victoria Land, Antarctica). ... -
Characterization of the bacterioplankton communities in the melt-water ponds of Bratina Island, Victoria Land, Antarctica
(University of Waikato, 2011)Antarctic ecosystems (such as the ponds by Bratina Island, Antarctica) provide an excellent opportunity to examine organisms that can live in one of the most extreme and geochemically varied environments in the world. These ... -
Geochemical, Spatial, and Temporal Drivers of Microbial Community Heterogeneity in the Meltwater Ponds of Antarctica
(University of Waikato, 2015)Antarctic meltwater ponds are an abundant, dynamic and sensitive yet poorly understood ecosystem. In this thesis, bacterial communities from surface waters, the water column and benthic zone in geochemically variable ...
