Polar regions have experienced significant warming in recent decades. Warming has been
most pronounced across the Arctic Ocean Basin and along the Antarctic Peninsula, with …

Around Antartica the annual five-fold growth and decay of sea ice is the most prominent
physical process and has a profound impact on marine life there. In winter the pack ice …

In the nearshore coastal waters along the Antarctic Peninsula, a recurrent shift in
phytoplankton community structure, from diatoms to cryptophytes, has been documented …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is emerging as a novel, objective tool for
monitoring marine metazoan biodiversity. Zooplankton biodiversity in the vast open ocean is …

In the Southern Ocean, several zooplankton taxonomic groups, euphausiids, copepods,
salps and pteropods, are notable because of their biomass and abundance and their roles …

Available data on the spatial distribution and feeding ecophysiology of Antarctic krill,
Euphausia superba, and the tunicate, Salpa thompsoni, in the Southern Ocean are …

The distribution and abundance of phytoplankton communities off east Antarctica were
surveyed using CHEMTAX analysis of HPLC pigment profiles, supplemented by microscopy …

There is an enormous amount of data on Southern Ocean (SO) zooplankton, mostly on their
distribution with a minority addressing rate processes. This review aims to summarise these …

DNA metabarcoding is an efficient method for measuring biodiversity, but the process of
initiating long‐term DNA‐based monitoring programmes, or integrating with conventional …
