At limits of life: Multidisciplinary insights reveal environmental constraints on biotic diversity in Continental Antarctica
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Multitrophic communities that maintain the functionality of the extreme Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, while the simplest of any natural community, are still challenging our knowledge about the limits to life on earth. ... -
Diversity of Lecidea (Lecideaceae, Ascomycota) species revealed by molecular data and morphological characters
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)The diversity of lichens, especially crustose species, in continental Antarctica is still poorly known. To overcome difficulties with the morphology based species delimitations in these groups, we employed molecular data ... -
High diversity of lichens at 84°S, Queen Maud Mountains, suggests preglacial survival of species in the Ross Sea region, Antarctica
(Springer, 2011)Investigations of lichens collected in 1959/1960, 1963/1964 and 2003 from near the Beardmore Glacier in the southern Ross Sea region (84 S) have more than doubled the number of known lichen species in the area to around ... -
Lichen and moss communities of Botany Bay, Granite Harbour, Ross Sea, Antarctica
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species ... -
Lichen fungi have low cyanobiont selectivity in maritime Antarctica
(Wiley, 2010)The cyanobionts of lichens and free-living Nostoc strains from Livingston Island (maritime Antarctica) were examined to determine both the cyanobiont specificity of lichens and the spatial distribution of Nostoc strains ...
