Genomic insights of evolutionary divergence and life history innovations in Antarctic brittle stars
Understanding the drivers of evolutionary innovation provides a crucial perspective of how
evolutionary processes unfold across taxa and ecological systems. It has been hypothesised …

Phylogenomics of the longitarsal Colossendeidae: the evolutionary history of an Antarctic sea spider radiation
Sea spiders (Pycnogonida) constitute a group of marine benthic arthropods that has a
particularly high species diversity in the Southern Ocean. The “longitarsal” group of the sea …

Distributional patterns of polychaetes across the West Antarctic based on DNA barcoding and particle tracking analyses
Recent genetic investigations have uncovered a high proportion of cryptic species within
Antarctic polychaetes. It is likely that these evolved in isolation during periods of glaciation …

Is there a distinct continental slope fauna in the Antarctic?
The Antarctic continental slope spans the depths from the shelf break (usually between 500
and 1000m) to∼ 3000m, is very steep, overlain by 'warm'(2–2.5° C) Circumpolar Deep …

Not all that glitters is gold: Barcoding effort reveals taxonomic incongruences in iconic Ross Sea sea stars
The Southern Ocean is one of the most exposed regions to climate-related changes on our
planet. Better understanding of the current biodiversity and past speciation events, as well …

Understanding processes at the origin of species flocks with a focus on the marine A ntarctic fauna
Species flocks (SF s) fascinate evolutionary biologists who wonder whether such striking
diversification can be driven by normal evolutionary processes. Multiple definitions of SF s …
