| Abstract | Provides overview of evolutionary consequences of environmental stress as seen in life history strategies of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic biota, and assesses likely consequences and vulnerabilities to current trends of environmental change. Includes discussion of growth and life cycle; reproduction; physiological responses to low temperature; competition and predation; likely responses to climate change; life history flexibility; and interactions among environmental variables |
