Deterrent activities in the crude lipophilic fractions of Antarctic benthic organisms: chemical defences against keystone predators
Generalist predation constitutes a driving force for the evolution of chemical defences. In the Antarctic benthos, asteroids and omnivore amphipods are keystone opportunistic predators. Sessile organisms are therefore expected to develop defensive mechanisms mainly against such consumers. However, t...
