Diatom-specific highly branched isoprenoids as biomarkers in Antarctic consumers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The structure, functioning and dynamics of polar marine ecosystems are strongly influenced by the extent of sea ice. Ice algae and pelagic phytoplankton represent the primary sources of nutrition for higher trophic-level organisms in seasonally ice ...

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2009 Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species richness and distribution is ...

Fish from the Southern Ocean: biodiversity, ecology and conservation challenges
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 According to the most recent census, the modern fauna of the Southern Ocean (SO) includes 374 fish species. Among them, a single group of closely related species, the suborder Notothenioidei, dominates, in terms of diversity, biomass and abundance ...

Molecular support for Pleistocene persistence of the continental Antarctic moss Bryum argenteum [PDF]
, 2010 We examined sequence variation of ITS and phy2 for Bryum argenteum from Antarctica, sub-Antarctic, New Zealand and Australia to understand better taxonomic delimitations and resolve relationships between these geographic regions. Bryum argenteum has been

The ecological importance of Antarctic Silverfish [PDF]
, 2016 The Antarctic marine ecosystem is very unique. It supports a fast range of species ranging from phytoplankton to blue whales. Many of these species are endemic, including the Antarctic silverfish Pleuragramma antarcticum which is abundant throughout ...

Estimating the distribution of demand for Antarctic krill (Euphauisa superba) from land-based predators at South Georgia [PDF]
, 2007 South Georgia is renowned for the abundance of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and a range of krill predators. Variability in krill availability at a range of scales, and the consequences of this for predator-prey interactions, mean that quantifying ...

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane
