The non-marine Crustacea of Antarctica and the Islands of the Southern Ocean: biodiversity and biogeography

A total of 101 verified species and eight ordinal taxa represent the non-marine Crustacea on Antarctica and the islands of the Southern Ocean. The largely terrestrial Isopoda and Amphipoda are confined to some sub-Antarctic and cool temperate islands while the predominantly freshwater Anostraca, Anomopoda, Copepoda (=Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Harpacticoida) and Ostracoda (Podocopida) occur throughout the region. Holocene sea-level rises fragmented freshwater and terrestrial species ranges on New Zealand, Auckland, Campbell, and possibly other South Pacific islands, leaving a legacy of vicariant taxa. Tertiary species probably survived Pleistocene glaciation in aquatic refugia on the New Zealand/South Pacific, Falkland, Crozet and Kerguelen archipelagoes, but there are no valid records of Tertiary Antarctic Crustacea. All 40 Continental and Maritime Antarctic freshwater records can be ascribed to the historic introduction of anthropogenic aliens, Holocene immigration of colonists, returning re-colonists and marine species 'marooned' in epishelf and other coastal lakes.

• The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “…lakes of the subAntarctic islands and the maritime Antarctic contain a significant metazoan community, including benthic and planktonic crustaceans (Pugh et al. 2002), chironomid midges, oligochaetes (Rodriguez and Rico 2008) and, limited to sub-Antarctic South Georgia, dytiscid diving beetles…”
• Surviving out in the cold: Antarctic endemic invertebrates and their refugia (2008, background): “…years old, although some continental systems are dated to < 104 or even < 106 yr bp, and a few are proposed as refugial (e.g. Bayly et al., 2003; Cromer et al., 2006; Gibson & Bayly, 2007; cf. Pugh et al., 2002), in the sense of having persisted throughout at least one Pleistocene glacial cycle.”
• Incursion and excursion of Antarctic biota: past, present and future (2006, unknown): “This is even the case for taxa such as the freshwater Crustacea (McKenzie & Moroni, 1986), for which no anthropogenic introductions to the southern polar region are clearly established (but many suspected; see Pugh et al., 2002).”
• Global diversity of copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) in freshwater (2007, background): “Pugh et al. (2002) hypothesized that all continental and maritime Antarctic Crustacea represent Holocene immigrants.”
