Terrestrial biodiversity in Antarctica - recent advances and future challenges

Untangling unexpected terrestrial conservation challenges arising from the historical human exploitation of marine mammals in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean

Intensive human exploitation of the Antarctic fur seal ( Arctocephalus gazella ) in its primary population centre on sub-Antarctic South Georgia, as well as on other sub-Antarctic islands and parts…

Ecology and management of invasive plants in the sub-Antarctic and Antarctic regions: evidence and synthesis from Macquarie Island

The invasive cold-tolerant plant species now prevalent on sub-Antarctic islands also pose a threat to Antarctica due to a warming climate and so efforts should continue to prevent further spread, while developing effective, low-impact control and eradication options to protect these high-value extreme ecosystems.

A 7000-year Record of Oribatid Mite Communities on a Maritime-Antarctic Island: Responses to Climate Change

The results suggest that mite populations will respond positively to the recent rapid regional warming documented in the maritime Antarctic, but on Signy Island this prediction is complicated by a similarly recent and rapid expansion of the populations of Antarctic fur seals, damaging the mites' habitats and exerting a new set of ecological constraints.

Refuges of Antarctic diversity

Antarctic Ecosystem Recovery Following Human-Induced Habitat Change: Recolonization of Adélie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) at Cape Hallett, Ross Sea

The human-induced disturbances in Antarctica have caused changes in the structure and function of ecosystems. The Cape Hallett station was established in 1957 and abandoned in 1973. The station was…

Early stages of development in Usnea antarctica Du Rietz in the South Shetland Islands, northern maritime Antarctica

Juvenile development has been investigated for the first time in an Antarctic lichen species—Usnea antarctica—in the northern maritime Antarctic, Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands,…

Biological invasions in the Antarctic: extent, impacts and implications

Alien microbes, fungi, plants and animals occur on most of the sub‐Antarctic islands and some parts of the Antarctic continent. These have arrived over approximately the last two centuries,…

An outsider on the Antarctic Peninsula: A new record of the non‐native moth Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

The first record of the microlepidopteran Plodia interpunctella beyond the South Shetland Islands is reported at the Chilean Yelcho scientific station, close to the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum in Antarctica: recent colonisation or in situ survival?

This is the first study to demonstrate in situ persistence of bryophytes in Antarctica throughout previous glaciation, and suggests multiple colonisation events of Antarctica by this species during several glacial cycles within the Pleistocene, Pliocene and possibly late Miocene.
