The Biogeography of Shallow-water Macrofauna Heard Island

Collections of23 macroinvertebrate taxa associated with Durvillaea antarctica hold fasts and 58 invertebrate taxa associated with artificial substrata coliectots are described flOm shallow-water and intertidd habitats at Heard Island. The fauna strong biogeographic affinities with the Kerguelen Island fauna and, to a slightly lesser extent, the fauna recorded at Macquarie Island but negligible ...

Management Considerations for the Heard Island Lava Tube Caves

Heard Island contains a system of lava tube caves in a largely pristine condition which are the best developed bedrock caves known in Antarctic or Subantarctic latitudes. They require special management, because of significant and sometimes fragile attributes associated with cave geomorphology, geology, hydrology, atmospheres, soils, microbiology, flora, fauna, vertebrate palaeontology, archaeo...

Subterranean Fauna of Christmas Island, Indian Ocean

The subterranean environment of Christmas Island is diverse and includes freshwater, marine, anchialine, and terrestrial habitats. The cave fauna comprises swiftlets, and a diverse assemblage of invertebrates, both terrestrial and aquatic, which includes a number of rare and endemic species of high conservation significance. At least twelve species are probably restricted to subterranean habita...
