The selection of conservation areas in Antarctica: An example using the arthropod fauna of Antarctic islands

Four conservation areas in the maritime Antarctic (three Specially Protected Areas and a Site of Special Scientific Interest) are compared with neighbouring islands which have not been awarded similar conservation status. Comparisons are carried out by using the terrestrial arthropod fauna, as oppos...
