The great need is still indisputably for faunal monographs of all
groups prepared by experienced systematists and utilizing as many as
possible of the national collections already in existence. No administrator should be left in any doubt that, at the present stage of our
knowledge, comprehensive studies on the systematics and distribution
of Antarctic organisms are of basic importance, not only to a narrow
range of specialists, but to all biologists concerned with biogeography.
The relatively few studies in depth of common Antarctic species
have already shown the value of this approach in understanding adaptation to Antarctic environments and basic ecological relationships.
The study of the biology of additional single important species and of
the structure of some of the common assemblages will allow better
understanding of the whole Antarctic benthic biota.
Before the relationships of the Antarctic benthos are properly
understood, much more work must be done in investigating the life on
the shelves surrounding the Subantarctic Islands especially Marion and
Prince Edward Islands, the Crozets, Kerguelen and Heard.
XI. BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES
In compiling this bibliography, all papers concerned primarily with
the systematics, distribution or biology of specific Antarctic benthic
plants and animals have been included. Papers referring to the Subantarctic have, in general, not been included. Reference to reports of
the Challenger Expedition and the German Deep-sea Expedition has
been made only when the particular contribution has relevance to
Antarctic organisms in the restricted sense.
Some short preliminary papers have been excluded when the main
paper appeared within a short period, and where the preliminary paper
was made completely redundant. When new taxa were proposed in
these preliminary papers, these have usually been included.
