Abstract:Climate change and resource exploitation in the Southern Ocean are important Anthropogenic pressure on Antarctic food webs. Understanding the eco-functional roles of Antarctic communities is essential for ecosystem management and conservation. Amphipods are among the most dominant and ecologically important benthic taxa in the Southern Ocean. The amphipod genusCharcotiais part of the scavenger guild playing a dominant role in nutrient recycling. To study the trophic habits of two sister species,C. amundseniand… Show more
