TL;DR: The extent, duration, and seasonality of sea ice and glacial discharge strongly influence Antarctic marine ecosystems as mentioned in this paper, and it is unclear to what extent the ecosystems we observe today differ from the pristine state.
Book
Algal Chemical Ecology
TL;DR: This work presents a meta-analyses of macroalgal chemical defenses and their roles in structuring tropical and temperate marine communities, and investigates the role of dimethylsulfoniopropionate and DMSP cleavage in marine macroalgae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of Antarctic Marine Sponges: An Overview
TL;DR: Colation in Antarctic sponges may be the result of relict pigments originally selected for aposematism or UV screens yet conserved because of their defensive properties, supported by the bioactive properties of pigments examined to date in a suite of common Antarctic spongees.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Evidence is presented to show that specific characteristics and adaptations in polar seaweeds help to explain their ecological success under environmentally extreme conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palmerolide A, a Cytotoxic Macrolide from the Antarctic Tunicate Synoicum adareanum
TL;DR: Palmerolide A, a 20-membered macrocyclic polyketide bearing carbamate and vinyl amide functionality, was isolated from the tunicate Synoicum adareanum collected from the vicinity of Palmer Station on the Antarctic Peninsula and displays potent and selective cytotoxicity toward melanoma.
