Antarctic nematode communities: observed and predicted
... Because of the relatively high diversity of the maritime Antarctic nematode communities (i.e., Maslen and Convey 2006; Nielsen et al. 2011), biotic interactions are likely important drivers of community composition. However, because so few communities have been examined to date, inferences such as t ...
