Genetic diversity among populations of Antarctic springtails (Collembola) within the Mackay Glacier ecotone
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016)Climate changes are likely to have major influences on the distribution and abundance of Antarctic terrestrial biota. To assess arthropod distribution and diversity within the Ross Sea region, we examined mitochondrial DNA ... -
Genetic diversity of soil invertebrates corroborates timing estimates for past collapses of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020)During austral summer field seasons between 1999 and 2018, we sampled at 91 locations throughout southern Victoria Land and along the Transantarctic Mountains for six species of endemic microarthropods (Collembola), covering ... -
Geochemical zones and environmental gradients for soils from the central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
(European Geosciences Union, 2021)Previous studies have established links between biodiversity and soil geochemistry in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, where environmental gradients are important determinants of soil biodiversity. However, these ... -
High levels of intraspecific genetic divergences revealed for Antarctic springtails: evidence for small-scale isolation during Pleistocene glaciation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)We examined levels of genetic variability within and among populations of three Antarctic springtail species (Arthropoda: Collembola) and tested the hypothesis that genetic divergences occur among glacially-isolated habitats. ... -
Latitudinal distribution and mitochondrial DNA (COI) variability of Stereotydeus spp. (Acari: Prostigmata) in Victoria Land and the central Transantarctic Mountains
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)We examined mitochondrial DNA (COI) variability and distribution of Stereotydeus spp. in Victoria Land and the Transantarctic Mountains, and constructed Neighbour Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees ...
