The spatial, temporal and structural distribution of Antarctic seafloor biodiversity
Biodiversity is natures most valuable resource. The Southern Ocean contains significant levels ofmarine biodiversity as a result of its isolated history and a combination of exceptional environmentalconditions. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal distribution of biodiversity on t...

Biodiversity is natures most valuable resource. The Southern Ocean contains significant levels ofmarine biodiversity as a result of its isolated history and a combination of exceptional environmentalconditions.

In this thesis, I provide detailed insight into the spatial and temporaldistribution of Antarctic benthic macrofaunal and demersal fish biodiversity. Using data from theGeorge V shelf region in East Antarctica, I address some of the main issues currently hinderingunderstanding of the functioning of the Antarctic ecosystem and the distribution of biodiversity at theseafloor.
