The non-native chironomid Eretmoptera murphyi in Antarctica: erosion of the barriers to invasion

2013-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Antarctica is the continent least affected by invasive species, but climate change and increasing human activity are increasing this threat. Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems generally have low biodiversity with simple community structures and little competition for resources. Consequently, species with pre-adaptations or capabilities that allow them to tolerate polar conditions may have disproportionately large ec...
