The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “Rising temperatures and shifts in the position of warm and cold waters as the ice sheets melt, however, could open the door to colonization of a suite of new apex predators: invasions of shark species not previously found in the Antarctic could potentially exert powerful top-down effects upon the sl”
Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, background): “Antarctica remains a major exception to this pattern and the reason is unclear (Amsler et al. 2001, Aronson & Blake 2001, Clarke et al. 2004).”
Climate Change and Invasibility of the Antarctic Benthos (2007, background): “…are generally the top predators of invertebrates, and dense populations of epifaunal suspension feeders, including ophiuroids, crinoids, bryozoans, and brachiopods, are widespread in shallow-water environments (Arntz et al. 2005, Aronson & Blake 2001, Clarke et al. 2004, Gili et al. 2006).”
Cryptic mitochondrial lineages in the widespread pycnogonid Colossendeis megalonyx Hoek, 1881 from Antarctic and Subantarctic waters (2010, background): “The high biodiversity is the result of the unique evolutionary history of this ecosystem, being isolated for a period of over 20 million years (Clarke and Crame 1992; Clarke et al. 2004; Crame 1997; Poulin et al. 2002).”
