In recent years, the polar regions have received increased scientific and public
interest.BoththeArcticandAntarctichavebeenrecognizedaskeyregionsinthe
regulation of the global climate and polar ecosystems have been identified to be
particularly susceptible to the ongoing environmental changes. Consequently, the
international efforts in polar research have been enhanced considerably, and a
wealth of new findings is being produced at a growing rate by the international
community of polar researchers. The aim of the book series Advances in Polar
Ecology is to foster the progress in the scientific knowledge about the polar and
sub-polarregionsofbothhemispheresbycontributingtothefastandwide-ranging
dissemination of novel scientific information gained from recent studies of sea,
freshwater and land biota among polar researchers, environmental managers and
policymakers.AdvancesinPolarEcology’sbroadecology-orientedscopeencom-
passes environmental and biological research of both recent and past ecosystems.
The Series offers an outlet to publish contributions (monographs, edited works,
conference proceedings, etc.) addressing scientific topics that need more compre-
hensive and in-depth analysis than the length of typical journal articles allow for.
These include, but are not limited to, thorough accounts of the current status of
active research areas of wide importance that outline promising perspectives for
futureresearch.Aninternationaleditorialboardoverseestherigorouspeerreview
