Global fungal diversity is estimated to range in the millions, yet it remains severely underexplored, especially in extreme environments. Fewer than 5% of species have been officially identified and characterised. Estimates suggest that 70%–90% of soil fungi remain uncultivable…
Airborne environmental DNA (airborne eDNA) analysis leverages the globally ubiquitous medium of air to deliver broad species distribution data and support ecosystem monitoring across diverse environments. As this emerging technology matures…
Microbial communities in Antarctic marine sponges have distinct taxonomic and functional profiles due to low temperatures, seasonal days and nights, and geographic isolation. These sponge holobionts contribute to nutrient cycling, structural habitat formation, and benthic ecosystem resilience.
The majority of islands surrounding the Antarctic continent are poorly characterized in terms of microbial macroecology due to their remote locations, geographical isolation and access difficulties. The 2016/2017 Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE)…
Background … Incomplete species inventories for Antarctica represent a key challenge for comprehensive ecological research and conservation in the region. Additionally, data required to understand population dynamics, rates of evolution, spatial ranges, functional traits…
1.Ecosystem change is predicted to become more prevalent with climate change. Widespread dieback of cushion plants and bryophytes in alpine fellfield on Macquarie Island may represent such change. Loss of the keystone endemic cushion plant, Azorella macquariensis…
Alien microbes, fungi, plants and animals occur on most of the sub-Antarctic islands and some parts of the … Antarctic continent. These have arrived over approximately the last two centuries, coincident with human … activity in the region. Introduction routes have varied…
Macquarie Island is an oceanic island located 1000k m south-east of Tasmania.The island, which lies close … to but north of the Antarctic Convergence is the southern most island in the world with a fairly complete cover of … vegetation. However…
The populations of two non-native Dipterans have been established at two Antarctic research stations … since at least 1998. Both belong to Sciaridae ("black … fungus midge"), and have been determined to the genus … Lycoriella. At Rothera Research Station, Antarctic … Peninsula…
Thalli of the lichens Buellia frigida and Xanthoria elegans were collected from five different locations each 5-15 km apart in the Vestfold Hills, Princess Elizabeth Land, eastern Antarctica. A further collection was made from Mawson Station, Mac Robertson Land, eastern Antarctica 660 km away.
