Chemical mediation of mutualistic interactions between macroalgae and mesograzers structure unique coastal communities along the western Antarctic Peninsula
CD Amsler, JB McClintock, BJ Baker - Journal of phycology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Hard bottom communities along the western A ntarctic P eninsula region are dominated by
thick macroalgal forests, which support high densities of mesograzers, particularly …

Unraveling the multiple bottom-up supplies of an Antarctic nearshore benthic community
Disentangling the bottom-up controls of natural ecosystems is key to understanding the
capacity of local communities to resist natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Here, we …

Palatability of ascidians: a meta-analysis of the predation effect on ascidians
Ascidians are marine sessile animals that have evolved many strategies to reduce
predation. Previous manipulative experiments with ascidian tissues or pellets have shown …

Natural Products from Antarctic Colonial Ascidians of the Genera Aplidium and Synoicum: Variability and Defensive Role
Ascidians have developed multiple defensive strategies mostly related to physical,
nutritional or chemical properties of the tunic. One of such is chemical defense based on …

Distribution of trace elements in benthic infralittoral organisms from the western Antarctic Peninsula reveals no latitudinal gradient of pollution
Antarctica is considered one of the most pristine regions on Earth, but evidences of global
and local anthropogenic pollution exist. Chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) are …

[HTML][HTML] Latitudinal changes in the trophic structure of benthic coastal food webs along the Antarctic Peninsula
Stable isotopes of C and N have been used to assess the effect of the duration of the sea ice
season on the structure of benthic, Antarctic coastal food webs. Samples of suspended …

Anti-predatory chemical defences in Antarctic benthic fauna
Antarctic benthic communities are largely structured by predation, which leads to the
development of mechanisms of repellence. Among those mechanisms, chemical defences …

Lipophilic defenses from Alcyonium soft corals of Antarctica
L Núñez-Pons, M Carbone, J Vázquez… - Journal of chemical …, 2013 - Springer
Alcyonacean soft corals lack physical or skeletal defenses and their nematocyst system is
weak, leading to the conclusion that soft corals mainly rely on chemistry for protection from …
