Alien invertebrates transported accidentally to the Polish Antarctic Station in cargo and on fresh foods
Abstract During three austral summer seasons cargo, expeditioner clothes and equipment of the Polish Antarctic Expedition were examined for the presence of alien propagules. De− tailed inspections were undertaken at the station buildings, searching for any invertebrates. During each austral summer f...
