Summary
Abstract: Project Objectives
1) To describe trophic relationships in near shore marine benthic ecosystems of East Antarctica and determine the importance of environmental forces (such as sea ice and primary production) to the structure of food webs and biological interactions in benthic assemblages.

2) To determine how marine benthic food webs in East Antarctica respond to local scale disturbances (such as ... View entire text
