Description
Summary:28 pages, 1 figure, 2 tables This chapter aims to review the most recent findings regarding chemical ecology in Antarctic marine macroorganisms, provide some insights into how environmental changes may affect the production of natural compounds, and how species may adapt (or not) to new scenarios related to climate change. The ecological significance of bioactive compounds in the marine environment remains as one of the most understudied topics of recent years Peer reviewed
