Antarctic Terrestrial BiologyGeorge A. Llano Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 20. This terrestrial volume brings together research papers that are less suitable for publication under existing Antarctic Research Series volumes and, as a consequence, reveals another dimension of the U.S. effort in antarctic biological research. Although the volume includes systematic and ecologic papers, the longer reports point to changes in the design and completion of field biological work. These changes are exemplified by greater use of increasingly sophisticated instrumentation and by emphasis on in situ experimental studies. This transition began as early as 1961–1962 when Goldman, Mason, and Wood, and also Koob and Leister, began their field work. To some extent, the rationale and methodology of these two groups stimulated the 1970 studies by Parker and his associates. Much of biological research involves graduate research assistants, and seven of these papers represent, in part or in whole, their contributions presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for higher degrees. |
