Ancient environmental DNA reveals the distinct fingerprints of whaling and climate change on Antarctic marine biodiversity
The Southern Ocean is a disproportionately large contributor to Earth system processes, playing a crucial role in the global transport of carbon, oxygen and heat. It also hosts enormous seasonal biological productivity that supports diverse endemic marine biodiversity. Industrial whaling in the first half of the 20th century and recent human-driven climate change have both profoundly altered…
