    Biodiversity assessment and conservation strategies (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-04-08
    Description: The efficient representation of all species in conservation planning is problematic. Often, species distribution is assessed by dividing the land into a grid; complementary sets of grids, in which each taxon is represented at least once, are then sought. To determine if this approach provides useful surrogate information, species and higher taxon data for South African plants and animals were analyzed. Complementary species sets did not coincide and overlapped little with higher taxon sets. Survey extent and taxonomic knowledge did not affect this overlap. Thus, the assumptions of surrogacy, on which so much conservation planning is based, are not supported.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉van Jaarsveld AS -- Freitag -- Chown -- Muller -- Koch -- Hull -- Bellamy -- Kruger -- Endrody-Younga -- Mansell -- Scholtz -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Mar 27;279(5359):2106-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉A.

    Comment on "Erosion of lizard diversity by climate change and altered thermal niches" (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-04-30
    Description: Using a regionally calibrated model, Sinervo et al. (Reports, 14 May 2010, p. 894) predicted potential climate change impacts on lizard populations and estimated that many extinctions are under way. We argue that this model is not sufficient for predicting global losses in lizard species in response to anthropogenic climate change.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Clusella-Trullas, Susana -- Chown, Steven L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Apr 29;332(6029):537; author reply 537. doi: 10.1126/science.1195193.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Invasion Biology, Department of Botany and Zoology, Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch 7602, South Africa. sct333@sun.ac.za〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21527699" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    The changing form of Antarctic biodiversity (2015)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2015-06-26
    Description: Antarctic biodiversity is much more extensive, ecologically diverse and biogeographically structured than previously thought. Understanding of how this diversity is distributed in marine and terrestrial systems, the mechanisms underlying its spatial variation, and the significance of the microbiota is growing rapidly. Broadly recognizable drivers of diversity variation include energy availability and historical refugia. The impacts of local human activities and global environmental change nonetheless pose challenges to the current and future understanding of Antarctic biodiversity. Life in the Antarctic and the Southern Ocean is surprisingly rich, and as much at risk from environmental change as it is elsewhere.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chown, Steven L -- Clarke, Andrew -- Fraser, Ceridwen I -- Cary, S Craig -- Moon, Katherine L -- McGeoch, Melodie A -- England -- Nature. 2015 Jun 25;522(7557):431-8. doi: 10.1038/nature14505.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia. ; British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0ET, UK. ; Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia. ; International Centre for Terrestrial Antarctic Research, University of Waikato, Private Bag 3105, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand. ; 1] School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia [2] Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26108852" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Mite and insect zonation on a Marion Island rocky shore: a quantitative approach (2000)

    Notes: Abstract This study provides the first quantitative analysis of the littoral and supralittoral insect and mite assemblages of sub-Antarctic Marion Island. Seventeen mite species (126,203 individuals) from 11 families were found on the shore at Macaroni Bay. Three families dominated the assemblages in both abundance and diversity: the Hyadesiidae, Ameronothridae and Halacaridae. Six insect species from three orders were found on the shore. Species richness increased from one in the littoral, to four and two species in the Mastodia and Caloplaca zones, respectively. The littoral chironomid midge Telmatogeton amphibius was the most abundant insect species, constituting 80% of all insects counted. Arthropod assemblages corresponded closely to the cryptogam-dominated zonation patterns previously identified for the Marion Island shore. This clear association between arthropod and cryptogam zonation patterns provided a clear indication of habitat specificity in many of the species, and a quantitative analysis of habitat specificity on a species by species basis supported this idea. The specificity of most species to the shore, which forms part of the epilithic biotope, is most likely a consequence of the considerable age of this biotope compared to the younger, post-glacial vascular vegetation. Tourist species, i.e. species transient to an assemblage, inflated species richness in zones and the distribution ranges of species across zones. It is suggested that previous qualitative analyses of shoreline arthropod communities may have overestimated species ranges and richnesses because of the inclusion of tourist species. It is suggested that if a sound understanding of patterns in, and processes underlying Antarctic arthropod assemblages is to be achieved, quantitative analyses must be expanded in the region.
