Global warming in ocean ecosystems alters temperature, acidification, oxygen content,
circulation, stratification, and nutrient inputs. Microorganisms play a dominant role in global …

Important findings from the second decade of the 21st century on the impact of
environmental change on biological processes in the Antarctic were synthesised by 26 …

The Southern Ocean plays a critical role in regulating global climate as a major sink for
atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and in global ocean biogeochemistry by supplying …

Cryptophytes are ancestral photosynthetic organisms evolved from red algae through
secondary endosymbiosis. They have developed alloxanthin-chlorophyll a/c2-binding …

Abstract The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a climatically sensitive region where
foundational changes at the basis of the food web have been recorded; cryptophytes are …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (West Antarctica) marine ecosystem has undergone
substantial changes due to climate-induced shifts in atmospheric and oceanic temperatures …

Phytoplankton form the base of marine food webs and are a primary means for carbon
export in the Southern Ocean, a key area for global pCO2 drawdown. Viral lysis and grazing …

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions
between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are …

Abstract In coastal West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) waters, large phytoplankton blooms in
late austral spring fuel a highly productive marine ecosystem. However, WAP atmospheric …

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 …
