Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

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 …

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 …

The rapid changes in the climate of Antarctica are likely to pose challenges to living
communities, which makes monitoring of Antarctic fauna an urgent necessity. Benthos is …

Coastal food webs that are supported by multiple primary producer sources are considered
to be more stable against perturbations. Here, we investigated how declining macroalgal …

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 …

Porifera are one of the dominant components of the marine benthic communities in the
Antarctic Sea (44% of the total species are endemic). Despite these data and the various …

Climate-driven changes in disturbance are a major threat to ecosystem Functional diversity.
The selective mechanisms underlying ecosystem response to disturbance are far from …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean is characterized by pronounced seasonality in the quantity and
quality of organic matter exported from the surface ocean. While it is well established that …
