A rigorous synthesis of the sea-ice ecosystem and linked ecosystem services highlights that
the sea-ice ecosystem supports all 4 ecosystem service categories, that sea-ice ecosystems …

The benthic community around Antarctica is diverse and highly endemic. These cold-
adapted species are under threat from local and global drivers, including warming …

Antarctic biodiversity is affected by seasonal sea-ice dynamics driving basal resource
availability. To (1) determine the role of intraspecific dietary variability in structuring benthic …

Most coastal glaciers on the West Antarctic Peninsula are in retreat. Glacial ice scouring and
lithogenic particle runoff increase turbidity and shape soft sediment benthic communities …

Macroalgal forests dominate shallow hard bottom areas along the northern portion of the
Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Macroalgal biomass and diversity are known to be …

Measuring ecological and economic impacts of invasive species is necessary for managing
invaded food webs. Based on abundance, biomass and diet data of autochthonous and …

Determining food web architecture and its seasonal cycles is a precondition for making
predictions about Antarctic marine biodiversity under varying climate change scenarios …

Food-webs are a critical feature of ecosystems and help us understand how communities
will respond to climate change. The Southern Ocean is facing rapid and accelerating …

Under climate change, many Arctic coastal ecosystems receive increasing amounts of
freshwater, with ecological consequences that remain poorly understood. In this study, we …

Benthic organisms depend primarily on seasonal pulses of organic matter from primary
producers. In the Arctic, declines in sea ice due to warming climate could lead to changes in …
