Evidence for cryptic diversity in the “pan-antarctic” springtail friesea antarctica and the description of two new species
The invertebrate terrestrial fauna of Antarctica is being investigated with increasing interest to discover how life interacts with the extreme polar environment and how millions of years of evolution have shaped their biodiversity. Classical taxonomic approaches, complemented by molecular tools, ar...
