the sea ice is a highly dynamic habitat for a variety of organisms. A research team from the Alfred Wegener Institute has now investigated what these organisms are and how they are affected by the melting

atmosphere – as has now been revealed by new analyses of ancient DNA published by a team from the Alfred Wegener Institute in the journal Nature Geoscience. In the ocean around the Antarctic continent, these
