Surviving out in the cold: Antarctic endemic invertebrates and their refugia
Aim: To identify Antarctic palaeoendemic taxa and their probable glacial refugia from regional groups of endemic species records. Location: Antarctica. Methods: We compiled a list of Antarctic non-marine invertebrates from published literature, and then deleted all records relating to non-endemic, z...

Location: Antarctica. Methods: We compiled a list of Antarctic non-marine invertebrates from published literature, and then deleted all records relating to non-endemic, zoochoric (phoretic and parasitic), marine and partially identified species to leave only the elements endemic to Antarctica. We then used cluster analysis and principal components analysis to identify regional groupings within this endemic fauna.
