• Adapting to climate change: a perspective from evolutionary physiology (2010, background): “Substantial phenotypic responses to climate change have been documented for several traits (e.g. Walther et al. 2002, Convey et al. 2003, Perry et al. 2005, Bradshaw & Holzapfel 2006, Millien et al. 2006, Babin-Fenske et al. 2008), and it has also been shown that species which appear incapable of…”
• The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “However, temperature may still have important indirect influences, through its effects on the rate of snow- and ice-melt, and eventually, on soil moisture (Convey et al. 2003, Clarke et al. 2012).”
• Terrestrial biodiversity in Antarctica - recent advances and future challenges (2010, background): “…measures of macroclimatic variables and trends to the microhabitat scale relevant to most Antarctic terrestrial biota, Block and Convey (2001) and Convey et al. (2003) analysed a long term study of the water relations of the arthropod fauna on Signy Island (maritime Antarctic), proposing these…”
• Microclimate impacts of passive warming methods in Antarctica: implications for climate change studies (2011, methodology): “This is also supported by desiccation stress observed in invertebrates under ventilated chambers on Anvers Island (Convey et al. 2002, 2003).”
• The terrestrial and freshwater invertebrate biodiversity of the archipelagoes of the Barents Sea; Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya (2014, background): “Many soil and freshwater invertebrates such as tardigrades, nematodes, enchytraeids, prostigmatid mites and Collembola are often of small size (<5 mm length) and have little resistance to evaporative water loss through their cuticle (Harrisson et al., 1991; Convey et al., 2003).”
• Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity in a changing world (2011, methodology): “Prompted by this dichotomy, Block and Convey (2001) and Convey et al. (2003) described long-term patterns of variation in water relations of several common terrestrial arthropods on Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic, using the organisms themselves as a proxy or indicator of environmental water…”
