The marine-based West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is considered vulnerable to irreversible
collapse under future climate trajectories, and its tip** point may lie within the mitigated …

Polar marine invertebrates serve as bellwethers for species vulnerabilities in the face of
changing climate at high latitudes of the Earth. Ocean acidification, warming/heatwaves …

Antarctica is enormous, cold, remote, and particularly sensitive to climate change. Most
biological research below 60° S has focused on the isolated nature of the biota and how …

The Antarctic marine environment is a diverse ecosystem currently experiencing some of the
fastest rates of climatic change. The documentation and management of these changes …

Abstract Background Sclerolinum (Annelida: Siboglinidae) is a genus of small, wiry deep-
sea tubeworms that depend on an endosymbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria for their …

The expanding scale and increasing rate of marine biological invasions have been
documented since the early 20th century. Besides their global ecological and economic …

Throughout the Quaternary, the continental‐based Antarctic ice sheets expanded and
contracted repeatedly. Evidence suggests that during glacial maxima, grounded ice …

Marine systems have traditionally been thought of as “open” with few barriers to gene flow.
In particular, many marine organisms in the Southern Ocean purportedly possess …

Antarctic shallow‐water invertebrates are exceptional candidates to study population
genetics and evolution, because of their peculiar evolutionary history and adaptation to …

Abstract In the Southern Ocean, rapid climatic fluctuations during the Quaternary are thought
to have induced range contractions and bottlenecks, thereby instigating genetic divergence …
