The world’s largest iceberg ‘A23a’ broke away from the Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986 and is now drifting northwards. An environmental disaster is almost certain if A23a continues its trajectory ...

While changes in the environment are perceived as a stress on the body, over time, the body adapts to the changing environment and adjusts accordingly. Stress can be largely divided into two ...

Bista is part of a team that sequenced the genome of 24 species of notothenioid fishes. With this new data, the researchers reconstructed the evolutionary and genetic history of these fish.

Biologists have explored the genetic mechanisms underlying the transition from freezing Antarctic waters to more temperature waters by Antarctic Notothenioid fish. Many animals have evolved to ...

Researchers reporting in the journal Current Biology on January 13, 2022, have discovered a massive breeding colony of notothenioid icefish in Antarctica’s southern Weddell Sea. They estimate that the ...

A parent guarded each nest of approximately 1,700 eggs, the first home of the notothenioid icefish, a white-blooded fish that resides in chilly waters. The term “white-blooded” refers to the ...

They were everywhere," Böhringer told Live Science. The nests were modest bowls carved in the mud on the seafloor by notothenioid icefish (Neopagetopsis ionah), which are native to the chilly ...

Frigid temperatures of the Southern Ocean are known to be an evolutionary driver in Antarctic fish. For example, many fish have reduced red blood cell (RBC) concentration to minimize vascular ...
