"Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of Antarctic ecosystems and the open access approach to publication means this volume serves as an easy entre to that literature - many ecologists will benefit from this compilation." (Austral Ecology, 1 October 2013)
"As an institutional library purchase, I would recommend this book." (Frontiers of biogeography, 5 January 2013
"This timely summary of the state of Antarctic ecological science provides a springboard for an exciting future of Antarctic research." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 June 2013)
"Overall, I appreciated the book and found it to be a very good synthesis especially of the marine information." (Biodiversity and Conservation, 1 October 2012)
"The first of these two books is a good scientific treatise on how snow and ice communities work at the moment, while the second concentrates more on marine environments and their likely future. Both are good and should be in the library." (British Ecological Society Bulletin, 1 August 2012)
"This book is a must for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and scientists interested in Antarctic ecosystems. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (Choice, 1 September 2012)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Since its discovery Antarctica has held a deep fascination for biologists. Extreme environmental conditions, seasonality and isolation have lead to some of the most striking examples of natural selection and adaptation on Earth. Paradoxically, some of these adaptations may pose constraints on the ability of the Antarctic biota to respond to climate change. Parts of Antarctica are showing some of the largest changes in temperature and other environmental conditions in the world. In this volume, published in association with the Royal Society, leading polar scientists present a synthesis of the latest research on the biological systems in Antarctica, covering organisms from microbes to vertebrate higher predators. This book comes at a time when new technologies and approaches allow the implications of climate change and other direct human impacts on Antarctica to be viewed at a range of scales; across entire regions, whole ecosystems and down to the level of species and variation within their genomes. Chapters address both Antarctic terrestrial and marine ecosystems, and the scientific and management challenges of the future are explored. * Leading polar scientists present a synthesis of the latest research on the biological systems in Antarctica, covering organisms from microbes to vertebrate higher predators. * Integrates studies across scales of organization and complexity.
