Diversity and biogeography of southern ocean peracarid crustaceans in a changing environment
The Southern Ocean (SO) is one of the most pristine regions of our Planet, characterised by high levels of biodiversity (5% of the global diversity) (David and Saucède 2015) and hosting a unique fauna (up to 90% of SO species are endemic) (De Broyer and Danis 2011; Chown et al. 2015). Yet, the knowl...
