| Abstract | Discusses types and origins of Antarctic lakes; factors controlling limnetic biodiversity in Antarctica; and palaeobiogeography of Antarctic lakes. Reviews present-day understanding of biodiversity for cyanobacteria, freshwater diatoms, ciliates, rotifers and crustacea; and discusses these data in terms of previous views of Antarctic biogeography |
