This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community\udthat developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Fossil\udanalysis of a 47 cm long sediment core revealed a rich modern fauna dominated by filter feeders\ud(sponges and bryozoans). The down-core assemblage indicated a succession in the colonisation of\udthis site. The lower portion of the core (before ~9600 yr BP) was completely devoid of preserved\udfauna. The first colonisers (at ~10 200 yr BP) were mobile benthic organisms. Their occurrence was\udmatched by the first appearance of planktonic taxa, indicating a retreat of the ice shelf following the\udlast glaciation to within sufficient distance to advect planktonic particles via bottom currents. The\udbenthic infauna and filter feeders emerged during the peak abundance of the planktonic organisms,\udindicating their dependence on the food supply sourced from the open shelf waters of Prydz Bay.\udUnderstanding patterns of species succession in this environment has important implications for\uddetermining the potential significance of future ice shelf collapse
