The Antarctic Circumpolar Current isolates and connects: Structured circumpolarity in the sea star Glabraster antarctica
Abstract Aim The Antarctic Circumpolar Current ( ACC ) connects benthic populations by transporting larvae around the continent, but also isolates faunas north and south of the Antarctic Convergence. We test circumpolar panmixia and dispersal across the Antarctic Convergence barrier in the benthic s...
