Hosted by the School of Global Environmental Sustainability

Dr. Gemma Collins of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Frankfurt Germany will talk about Antarctica’s largest year-round terrestrial animals: small, insect-like invertebrates (springtails). As ice has come and gone, the amount of exposed soil habitat for these springtails has inevitably shrunk and expanded. This presentation will discuss how springtails came to exist in such extreme and isolated locations, and how we can use their unique genetic signatures to better understand the stories of their past.
