Managing invasive non-native species, including invasive pathogens, is crucial for protecting a region that has been evolutionarily isolated for millions of years. I wrote a Science letter about this 14 years, ago - not from the point of view of an expert on Antarctic ecosystems (which I'm not), but as someone who understands #biologicalinvasion as a form of global change: https://redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ricciardi2008Antarctica.pdf #invasivespecies #alienspecies
