Genetic diversity in the moss Hennediella heimii in Miers Valley, southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Polar Biology, 1999 (Ref: 8414)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The moss Hennediella heimii constitutes a significant proportion of the terrestrial flora of East Antarctica, especially in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region of southern Victoria Land. This is the first investigation of the extent of genetic variation within a population of Hennediella heimii. RAPDs…

RAPD analysis of genetic variation and dispersal of the moss Bryum argenteum in Ross Island and Victoria Land, Antarctica. Polar Biology, 1999 (Ref: 8417)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The RAPD technique (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) was used to assess the level of genetic diversity in Bryum argenteum from Ross Island and Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica. Samples were collected from three transects at different sites…

Modeling the determinants of species distributions in Antarctica. Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research, 1999 (Ref: 9259)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Considered from a functional ecological perspective, Antarcticas present-day terrestrial biota is the product of two sets of limiting factors: the continents isolation from sources of immigrant propagules and the severe environmental stresses to which successful immigrants are exposed.

Bryophyte Propagule Banks in Feldmarks on Subantarctic Macquarie Island. Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research, 1999 (Ref: 8766)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Subantarctic Macquarie Island has substantial areas of feldmark on its plateau above 200 m altitude. Samples of the substrate (5.5 cm in depth) from bare areas of feldmark contained viable propagules of bryophyte species found at adjacent and distant sites on the island.

Life at the front: history, ecology and change on southern ocean islands. Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 1999 (Ref: 8764)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Terrestrial ecosystems of southern ocean islands have enjoyed renewed attention recently. Stimulated by findings that their climates are changing dramatically, outcomes include an enhanced understanding of the biogeography of this region…
