Abstract Glacial melt has a great influence on biological communities of the Antarctic Peninsula. Annual changes in heterotrophic flagellates from March 2008–March 2009 and effects of glacial melting on heterotrophic flagellates from December 2008–March 2009 were studied within the coastal zone of K...
