Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean are facing complex environmental change.
Their native biota has adapted to the region's extreme conditions over many millions of …

Thermal performance curves (TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(Tb) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Ocean ecosystems have responded and will continue to respond to climate changes of
different rates, magnitudes, and durations (virtually certain). Human societies depend on …

Patterns of environmental spatial structure lie at the heart of the most fundamental and

Antarctic marine species have evolved in one of the coldest and most temperature-stable
marine environments on Earth. They have long been classified as being stenothermal, or …

Flood basalts were Earth's largest volcanic episodes that, along with related intrusions, were
often emplaced rapidly and coincided with environmental disruption: oceanic anoxic events …

This study examined the effects of long‐term culture under altered conditions on the A
