β-Diversity and Species Accumulation in Antarctic Coastal Benthos: Influence of Habitat, Distance and Productivity on Ecological Connectivity
High Antarctic coastal marine environments are comparatively pristine with strong environmental gradients, which make them important places to investigate biodiversity relationships. Defining how different environmental features contribute to shifts in beta-diversity is especially important as these shifts reflect both spatio-temporal variations in species richness and the degree of ecological ...

متن کاملPalmer Long-term Ecological Research on the Antarctic Marine Ecosystem
The Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research (Palmer LTER) program seeks to understand the structure and function of the Antarctic marine ecosystem in the context of physical forcing (atmospheric, oceanic and sea ice) on seasonal to millennial time-scales (http://www.icess. ucsb.edu/lter/lter.html). The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region, the location of the Palmer LTER (Figure 1), is proving...
متن کاملBiological and ecological traits of marine species
This paper reviews the utility and availability of biological and ecological traits for marine species so as to prioritise the development of a world database on marine species traits. In addition, the 'status' of species for conservation, that is, whether they are introduced or invasive, of fishery or aquaculture interest, harmful, or used as an ecological indicator, were reviewed because thes...
متن کاملTime- and depth-wise trophic niche shifts in Antarctic benthos
Climate change is expected to affect resource-consumer interactions underlying stability in polar food webs. Polar benthic organisms have adapted to the marked seasonality characterising their habitats by concentrating foraging and reproductive activity in summer months, when inputs from sympagic and pelagic producers increase. While this enables the persistence of biodiverse food webs, the mec...
