Antarctic ecosystem responses following ice‐shelf collapse and iceberg calving: Science review and future research
The calving of A‐68, the 5,800‐km2, 1‐trillion‐ton iceberg shed from the Larsen C Ice Shelf
in July 2017, is one of over 10 significant ice‐shelf loss events in the past few decades …

Comparative marine biodiversity and depth zonation in the Southern Ocean: evidence from a new large polychaete dataset from Scotia and Amundsen seas
Based on a dataset of 16,991 and 307 morphospecies of polychaete worms collected from
58 epibenthic sledge deployments across the Scotia and Amundsen Seas, we show that the …

Spatial patterns of continental shelf faunal community structure along the Western Antarctic Peninsula
AM Friedlander, W Goodell, P Salinas-de-León… - PLoS …, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Knowledge of continental shelf faunal biodiversity of Antarctica is patchy and as such, the
ecology of this unique ecosystem is not fully understood. To this end, we deployed baited …

Fauna of the Kemp Caldera and its upper bathyal hydrothermal vents (South Sandwich Arc, Antarctica)
Faunal assemblages at hydrothermal vents associated with island-arc volcanism are less
well known than those at vents on mid-ocean ridges and back-arc spreading centres. This …

Distributional patterns of polychaetes across the West Antarctic based on DNA barcoding and particle tracking analyses
Recent genetic investigations have uncovered a high proportion of cryptic species within
Antarctic polychaetes. It is likely that these evolved in isolation during periods of glaciation …
