Antarctic Ecosystems
Author: Alex D. Rogers
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444347225
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 585
Book Description
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.

Book Description
An analysis of the horizontal and the vertical zonation of the Antarctic Isopoda, combined with knowledge of the geological history of Antarctica and isopod phylogeny, revealed that the isopod family serolidae and subfamily Arcturinae are likely to have evolved from ancestors that inhabited a cold-temperate Gondwanian province. Antarctic species of other families, such as the Munnopsidae, Nannoniscidae, Desmosomatidae and Ischnomesidae, are likely to have evolved from deep-sea ancestors. It is deduced that emigration of South Patagonian species into the Southern Ocean, although possible, probably did not occur very often. Evolutionary phenomena such as continental-drift vicariance, radiation of species on the continental shelf of Antarctica, and active migration, including submergence and emergence , mechanisms are discussed.

Evolution and Biogeography
Author: Martin Thiel
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190094974
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
This is the eighth volume of a ten-volume series on The Natural History of the Crustacea. The volume examines Evolution and Biogeography, and the first part of this volume is entirely dedicated to the explanation of the origins and successful establishment of the Crustacea in the oceans. In the second part of the book, the biogeography of the Crustacea is explored in order to infer how they conquered different biomes globally while adapting to a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial conditions. The final section examines more general patterns and processes, and the chapters offer useful insight into the future of crustaceans.
