• Terrestrial biodiversity in Antarctica - recent advances and future challenges (2010, background): “…the physical vicinity of a small number of research locations, in particular following the historical patterns of activity of a small number of individual specialist biologists, and that often in the early decades of Antarctic biological exploration (Adams et al., 2006; Chown and Convey, 2007).”
• The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “In this region, environmental signals are often underpinned by distribution patterns driven by isolation and subsequent radiation over glacial cycles (Adams et al. 2006, Stevens et al. 2006a).”
• Cyanobacteria in Cold Ecosystems (2008, background): “Terrestrial dark crusts are found throughout Antarctica and are commonly dominated by cyanobacteria (e.g., Broady 1996; Mataloni and Tell 2002; Adams et al. 2006).”
• Evidence for widespread endemism among Antarctic micro-organisms (2010, background): “For Antarctica, most data on green algae are largely restricted to morphology-based taxonomic inventories (Broady, 1996; Cavacini, 2001; Mataloni and Pose, 2001; Adams et al., 2006; Fermani et al., 2007; Zidarova, 2007) and suggest a high degree of cosmopolitanism.”
• Co-variation in soil biodiversity and biogeochemistry in northern and southern Victoria Land, Antarctica (2006, background): “Victoria Land invertebrate communities are comprised of five phyla of invertebrates: Arthropoda (Collembola, Acari), Tardigrada, Nematoda, Rotifera, and Protozoa (Adams et al. 2006).”
• Soil biodiversity and carbon cycling: a review and synthesis of studies examining diversity–function relationships (2011, background): “For example, areas of Antarctica have been found to contain extremely low extents of soil biotic diversity, with faunal communities typically consisting of various combinations of up to three taxa (tardigrades, rotifers and nematodes) and less than five species (Freckman & Virginia, 1997; Convey & M”
• Decline in a dominant invertebrate species contributes to altered carbon cycling in a low‐diversity soil ecosystem (2008, background): “Soil ecosystems in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Victoria Land, Antarctica, comprise simple food webs with minimal diversity and little trophic redundancy (Freckman & Virginia, 1997; Adams et al., 2006).”
• Relation between soil classification and bacterial diversity in soils of the Ross Sea region, Antarctica (2008, background): “Soils of the Ross Sea region of Antarctica are among the simplest ecosystems on earth (Adams et al., 2006).”
• Surviving out in the cold: Antarctic endemic invertebrates and their refugia (2008, background): “Today, Antarctica spans nearly 30 of latitude (61 –90 S) and covers more than 13 million km2, but harbours < 550 non-marine invertebrate species (Adams et al., 2006; Convey, 2008); this is far fewer than ‘Arctic’ (60–83 N) North America, with c. 2000 species (Danks, 1990; Chernov, 1995), and even…”
• The terrestrial and freshwater invertebrate biodiversity of the archipelagoes of the Barents Sea; Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya (2014, background): “Polar (Arctic and Antarctic) ecosystems are considered to be particularly valuable for studies addressing such fundamental questions of ecosystem function, providing examples across a wide range of levels of assemblage structure (Hodkinson et al., 2003, 2004; Adams et al., 2006; Post et al., 2009).”
• Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity in a changing world (2011, background): “…approaches have highlighted the considerable levels of species endemism typifying many groups of Antarctic terrestrial biota (Andrássy 1998; Adams et al. 2006; Maslen and Convey 2006; Pugh and Convey 2008) and that are inconsistent with a hypothesis of recent post-glacial colonisation.”
