Since its discovery Antarctica has held a deep fascination for
biologists. Extreme environmental conditions, seasonality and
isolation have lead to some of the most striking examples of
natural selection and adaptation on Earth. Paradoxically, some of
these adaptations may pose constraints on the ability of the
Antarctic biota to respond to climate change. Parts of Antarctica
are showing some of the largest changes in temperature and other
environmental conditions in the world. In this volume, published in
association with the Royal Society, leading polar scientists
present a synthesis of the latest research on the biological
systems in Antarctica, covering organisms from microbes to
vertebrate higher predators. This book comes at a time when new
technologies and approaches allow the implications of climate
change and other direct human impacts on Antarctica to be viewed at
a range of scales; across entire regions, whole ecosystems and down
to the level of species and variation within their genomes.
Chapters address both Antarctic terrestrial and marine ecosystems,
and the scientific and management challenges of the future are
explored.
