Biodiversity of an Antarctic rocky subtidal community and its relationship with glacier meltdown processes

Glacier meltdown is a major environmental response to climate change in the West Antarctic Peninsula. Yet, the consequences of this process for local biodiversity are still not well understood. Here, we analyse the diversity and structure of a species-ric We thank the invaluable support provided by...

Summary:Glacier meltdown is a major environmental response to climate change in the West Antarctic Peninsula. Yet, the consequences of this process for local biodiversity are still not well understood.
