The Antarctic's snow-white environment is going green and facing other
unexpected threats.
Scientists say that as temperatures go up in the polar areas.invading(
plants and insects,including the flies,cause a major threat.
More and more of these invaders,in the form of larvae or seeds,are
surviving in coastal areas around the South Pole,where the temperature has
risen by almost 3C over the past five decades.Glaciers have melted,exposing
more land which has been occupied by mosses that have been found to be
growing more quickly and thickly than ever before -providing potential green
homes for invaders.
"The common houseflies are a perfect example of the problem the Antarctic
now faces from invading species,"said Dominic Hodgson of the British
Antarctic Survey."They arrive by ship,where they exist in kitchens.They now
have an increasing chance of surviving in the Antarctic as it warms up,and that
is a worry.Insects like the houseflies carry bacteria that could have a deadly
effect on native life forms."
The Antarctic has several native species of insects.Together with its native
mosses,these are now under increased threat from three major sources:visiting
scientists,increasing number of tourists and global warming.However,it is
global warming that is the main driver of the "greening"of the Antarctic.
In the 2015-2016 travel season,more than 38,000 tourists visited the
Antarctic."These tourists are often very careful about not leaving waste.But they
could carry seeds or larvae on their boots when they set foot on the Antarctic.
said Dominic.
More and more invading insects and plants have been found on the
Antarctic and have required removal."The insects and plants that are native to
the Antarctic have survived there for thousands of years.said Dominic."We
have to act now if we want to save the environment"
