Abstract
Copepod Boeckella poppei was first recorded in a freshwater body of the Wilhelm Archipelago (Kyiv Peninsula, Maritime Antarctica) in 2008. This crustacean is one of the main consumers of filamentous algae in freshwater Antarctic bodies and is used as an indicator species in freshwater ecosystems. This work aimed to research the current distribution of B. poppei within the Argentine Islands of this archipelago. The second population of this crustacean species was discovered on the Nob Island at the beginning of this research in 2010. Boeckella poppei was also recorded in 33 freshwater bodies of eight other islands in 2020. During the final stage was analyzed the adaptation of B. poppei to the extreme conditions of existence in the freshwater reservoirs of Antarctica and the main ways of the spread of this species over short and long distances in this region of the planet.
期刊介绍:
Polar Biology publishes Original Papers, Reviews, and Short Notes and is the focal point for biologists working in polar regions. It is also of interest to scientists working in biology in general, ecology and physiology, as well as in oceanography and climatology related to polar life. Polar Biology presents results of studies in plants, animals, and micro-organisms of marine, limnic and terrestrial habitats in polar and subpolar regions of both hemispheres.
