Patterns of environmental spatial structure lie at the heart of the most fundamental and
familiar patterns of diversity on Earth. Antarctica contains some of the strongest …

The remote and hostile Southern Ocean is home to a diverse and rich community of life that
thrives in an environment dominated by glaciations and strong currents. Marine biological …

The evolutionary and biogeographic history of the contemporary Antarctic terrestrial and
marine biotas reveals many components of ancient origin. For large elements of the …

Abstract The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a hotspot of recent rapid regional warming
and ice loss. The WAP sea surface freezes each winter to form a 'fast-ice'skin that can …

Abstract In the Southern Ocean, that is areas south of the Polar Front, long-term
oceanographic cooling, geographic separation, development of isolating current and wind …

Underwater imagery survey was conducted to address changes in Antarctic benthic
megafauna communities by recent glacial retreat in Marian Cove, where distance from the …

Abstract The West Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming regions on Earth. Faster
glacier retreat and related calving events lead to more frequent iceberg scouring, fresh water …

Sediment density flows are large scale disturbances that can have dramatic impacts on
seafloor animal communities in the deep sea. Seafloor imagery collected in Kaikōura …

The western Antarctic Peninsula is experiencing strong environmental changes as a
consequence of ongoing regional warming. Glaciers in the area are retreating rapidly and …

Sediment density flows can transport massive amounts of sediment across large distances
and can have dramatic, long-lasting impacts on deep-sea benthic communities. A canyon …
