Nadine Johnston is a marine ecologist. Her research is focused on the interaction of Scotia Sea species and their links to the circumpolar ocean (from a food web perspective) to understand the importance of spatial and temporal variability in the operation of this ecosystem.
Eugene Murphy has spent over 25 years working on polar marine ecosystems, as a marine ecologist and ecological modeller. His major interests are in the structure and function of oceanic ecosystems, and how biological and physical interactions at different scales affect the dynamics of marine populations, the overall structure of marine ecosystems amd their response to change.
Andrew Clarke has spent the over 40 years working in polar regions, principally as a marine ecologist. His major interests are the elationship between temperature and the physiology and ecology of organisms, and how changes in climate over geological time have influenced the distribution and diversity of organisms.
“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)
