Multiple lineages and absence of panmixia in the “circumpolar” crinoid Promachocrinus kerguelensis from the Atlantic sector of Antarctica (2007, background): “machocrinus “kerguelensis” diverged well after the onset of the ACC (28–41 Mya, see Lawver and Gahagan 2003; Scher and Martin 2006), but before the last glacial maximum (»20,000 ya, Huybrechts 2002).”
Coupled tectonic evolution of Andean orogeny and global climate (2015, background): “However, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current could not have been established without the long-lasting opening process of the Drake passage since 50 Ma by rupture of the South America– Antarctica continental bridge, its fragmentation into blocks, gradual opening of basins and accretion of lineated ocea”
Effects of brooding and broadcasting reproductive modes on the population genetic structure of two Antarctic gastropod molluscs (2011, background): “…Environment Research Council, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0ET, UK Current around 24–41 Mya (Lawver and Gahagan 2003; Pfuhl and McCave 2005; Scher and Martin 2006) and this has generated large numbers of endemic species on the Southern Ocean continental shelf (Clarke and Johnston…”
Climate Change and Invasibility of the Antarctic Benthos (2007, background): “Durophagous predators disappeared as sea temperatures declined, beginning in the late Eocene (approximately 40 Mya).”
