• First record of anomuran and brachyuran larvae (Crustacea: Decapoda) from Antarctic waters (2003, background): “However, E. analoga Stimpson, 1857, has been found in the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego (about 52S; Efford 1976; Boschi et al. 1992), although these rare finds have not been confirmed by recent investigations (Gorny 1999).”
• Evolution and diversity of the benthic fauna of the Southern Ocean continental shelf (2004, background): “The reason for their absence is not clear although recently a physiological explanation has been advanced, centred on the inability of the brachyurans and astacids to maintain a suitable ionic balance for activity at low temperatures (Frederich et al. 2001).”
• CHALLENGING THE COLD: CRABS RECONQUER THE ANTARCTIC (2005, background): “Given that most other decapod taxa are strong [Mg21]HL regulators at low [Mg21]HL, it is likely that ancestral brachyurans also had high [Mg21]HL levels (Frederich et al. 2001).”
• Physiological Correlates of Geographic Range in Animals (2011, background): “Frederich et al. (2001) proposed that the absence of crabs and lobsters in Antarctica was because of poor magnesium regulation in the cold.”
• Climate Change and Invasibility of the Antarctic Benthos (2007, background): “The reductions in heart rate and metabolism caused by high [Mg2+] reduce aerobic scope (Frederich et al. 2001).”
• Antarctic marine benthic diversity: patterns and processes (2008, background): “The low diversity of decapods may have a simple physiological explanation (Frederich et al., 2001), but it is likely that the factors affecting the diversity of most groups will be complex.”
• Climate Variability and the Energetic Pathways of Evolution: The Origin of Endothermy in Mammals and Birds (2004, unknown): “0 C) of the Antarctic (Frederich et al. 2001).”
• The Antarctic-Magellan connection: Macrobenthos ecology on the shelf and upper slope, a progress report (2005, background): “Further characteristics are a decrease of moults and larval instars towards the pole, reduced energetic losses in very thin cast exuviae (Thatje et al., 2003) and low Mg2+ concentrations in the haemolymph (Frederich et al., 2000, 2001).”
