This research aims to understand how terrestrial organisms have adapted to changes in the Antarctic climate during the last 35 million years. To do this, we will conduct physiological and phylogeographic studies of freezing tolerant and freezing resistant invertebrates. This research contributes to the Latitudinal Gradient Project.
