Conservation and management aspects.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 theEcologyAntarcticaBiotic communitiesAntarcticaAntarcticafastEcologyBiotic communities577.0998/9Rogers Alex1968-28440MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814693703321Antarctic ecosystems3913668UNINA
