Predicting species distribution and abundance responses to climate change: why it is essential to include biotic interactions across trophic levels
Current predictions on species responses to climate change strongly rely on projecting
altered environmental conditions on species distributions. However, it is increasingly …

On the rocks: the microbiology of Antarctic Dry Valley soils
The arid soils of the Antarctic Dry Valleys constitute some of the oldest, coldest, driest and
most oligotrophic soils on Earth. Early studies suggested that the Dry Valley soils contained …

The 2019/2020 summer of Antarctic heatwaves.
This summer, a heatwave across Antarctica saw temperatures soar above average. In the
past, much of East Antarctica has been spared from rapid climate warming due in part to …
