Terrestrial biodiversity in Antarctica - recent advances and future challenges (2010, background): “The fauna consists entirely of invertebrates, and then with only two higher insect species present (both Diptera) (Block, 1984), while plant communities are predominantly cryptogamic (lower plants - mosses, liverworts, lichens) (Ochyra et al., 2008; Øvstedal and Smith, 2001).”
Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity in a changing world (2011, background): “Antarctic terrestrial species richness is clearly low; many higher taxonomic groups not present and, it is thought, many ecological functions or ecosystem services poorly or unrepresented (Block 1984; Øvstedal and Smith 2001; Convey 2007a, b; Ochyra et al. 2008).”
Functional and spatial pressures on terrestrial vegetation in Antarctica forced by global warming (2011, background): “Data for cyanobacterial lichens from Øvstedal and Smith (2001), Seppelt et al. (2010), Green et al. (2011).”
The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “…smaller scales, the importance of fertilization is demonstrated by the development of specific lichen or microbial communities around isolated bird perches (Øvstedal and Smith 2001), mummified seal carcasses (Nelson et al. 2008), and on the sites of ancient penguin colonies (Wasley et al. 2012).”
