Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae): A natural model organism for extreme environments
Abstract Belgica antarctica (Diptera: Chironomidae), a brachypterous midge endemic to the
maritime Antarctic, was first described in 1900. Over more than a century of study, a vast …

Genetic diversity of soil invertebrates corroborates timing estimates for past collapses of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
During austral summer field seasons between 1999 and 2018, we sampled at 91 locations
throughout southern Victoria Land and along the Transantarctic Mountains for six species of …

Assessing distribution shifts and ecophysiological characteristics of the only Antarctic winged midge under climate change scenarios
Parts of Antarctica were amongst the most rapidly changing regions of the planet during the
second half of the Twentieth Century. Even so, today, most of Antarctica remains in the grip …
