Antarctica is the most isolated continent on Earth, but it has not escaped the negative
impacts of human activity. The unique marine ecosystems of Antarctica and their endemic …

Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (< 100-m depth) are
archaic in structure and function compared to shallow-water communities elsewhere …

The world ocean supports a dynamic system in which living organisms undergo constant
movements. Although some would appear to be sedentary, all are capable of invading new …

The Antarctic biota is highly endemic, and the diversity and abundance of taxonomic groups
differ from elsewhere in the world. Such characteristics have resulted from evolution in …

Marine benthic communities living in shallow-water habitats (< 100 m depth) in Antarctica
possess characteristics reminiscent of Paleozoic marine communities and modern deep-sea …

En este trabajo se hace referencia a 34 especies de batoideos pertenecientes a las familias
Torpedinidae, Narcinidae, Rhinobatidae, Rajidae y Dasyatidae que habitan aguas de …

The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is no longer free from invasive marine species. The
North Atlantic spider crab Hyas araneus (Linnaeus, 1758)(Crustacea: Decapoda: Majidae) …

We suggest that the epibenthic communities of passive suspension feeders that dominate
some high-Antarctic seafloors present unique archaic features that are the result of long …

One of the ways that rare species may qualitatively differ from common species is through
extinction (exit) biases. The set of rare species may be biased by the selective elimination of …

International conservation goals have been set to mitigate Southern Ocean ecosystem
deterioration, with multiple monitoring programs evaluating progress towards those goals …
