The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “Skeleton thickness may also be driven by defense against predation, which is thought to decrease with depth and toward the poles (e.g., Harper and Peck 2003, Aronson et al. 2007, Harper et al. 2012).”
Ecology and Impacts of the Large-Statured Invasive Grasses Arundo donax and Phragmites australis in North America (2010, background): “Rapid response might thus be improved by considering species groups that share life histories, pathways of invasion, and habitat preferences (Aronson et al. 2007; Newsome and Noble 1986).”
Genetic homogeneity and circum-Antarctic distribution of two benthic shrimp species of the Southern Ocean, Chorismus antarcticus and Nematocarcinus lanceopes (2010, background): “As consequence of the unique tectonic history, the long isolation, and recurrent large-scale glaciations of Antarctica, the Antarctic marine biota are unique in terms of their physiology, ecology, biogeography, and phylogeny (e.g. Clarke and Johnston 2003; Aronson et al. 2007).”
Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean (2014, background): “These in turn provide extensive habitats for groups such as asteroids, ophiuroids, crinoids, bryozoans and brachiopods, and their abundance is often such as to give the benthos an archaic (or ‘Palaeozoic’) appearance (Aronson et al. 2007).”
Patterns, processes and vulnerability of Southern Ocean benthos: a decadal leap in knowledge and understanding (2013, background): “…there has been an increasing intensity of reports of Antarctic biodiversity responses to environmental change at high southern latitudes (Orr et al. 2005; Aronson et al. 2007; Kaiser and Barnes 2008; Yasuhara et al. 2009; Trivelpiece et al. 2011; Ingels et al. 2012; see Online Resource 1 [7–10]).”
Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “…found in the Antarctic could potentially exert powerful top-down effects upon the slowgrowing and poorly defended resident fauna in the food web (Aronson et al., 2007; Clarke et al., 2004), and this is likely to lead to extensive rewiring of the network if these species are lost (Figure 9).”
Latitudinal and depth gradients in marine predation pressure (2016, background): “Aronson et al. (2007) used a lack of key predators (i.e. decapods and crushing fish) to infer reduced predation pressures in the Antarctic and explain the dominance of ‘primitive’ suspension feeding communities; other studies have shown high levels of predation at tropical latitudes (Peterson et…”
Animal temperature limits and ecological relevance: effects of size, activity and rates of change (2009, background): “However, Antarctic marine ectotherms are recognized as among the most stenothermal on Earth (Peck & Conway 2000; Aronson et al. 2007).”
Global bottlenecks in the distribution of marine Crustacea: temperature constraints in the family Lithodidae (2009, background): “The potential for opening new fisheries (Jorgensen et al., 2005), as well as the evidence of rapid habitat colonization for some lithodid species (Orlov & Ivanov, 1978; Thatje et al., 2005; Aronson et al., 2007), has inspired ongoing research on this group.”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “2003), predatory Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas colonising the seas off California (Zeidberg and Robison 2007), the prospect of sharks and crabs invading Antarctic waters (Aronson et al. 2007), and marine species from the Atlantic Ocean flowing into the North Pacific Ocean via the Northwest Passage ”
Krill, climate, and contrasting future scenarios for Arctic and Antarctic fisheries (2014, methodology): “8 million km(2), of which up to 21 million km(2) are covered by ice at winter maximum and 7 million km(2) are covered at summer minimum (Aronson et al., 2007).”
Rapid dissolution of shells of weakly calcified Antarctic benthic macroorganisms indicates high vulnerability to ocean acidification (2009, background): “…2000, but see Aronson et al. 2007) or a protracted evolutionary history that has selected against robust shell calcification due to an absence of shell-crushing invertebrates, such as crabs and heavily jawed fish (Vermeij 1978, Thatje et al. 2005, Aronson et al. 2007, McClintock et al. 2008).”
Evolutionary pathways among shallow and deep-sea echinoids of the genus Sterechinus in the Southern Ocean (2011, background): “…from shallow water to deeper waters; and (2) evolutionary polar emergence, in which taxa colonized the continental shelf from the deeper waters (Menzies et al., 1973; Zinsmeister and Feldmann, 1984; Clarke and Crame, 1989; Brandt, 1991, 1992; Crame, 1999; Brandt et al., 2007; Aronson et al., 2008).”
