Cover picture: Although climate change poses the largest anthropogenic threat to the Arctic and Antarctic, other impacts -- including pollution, fisheries overharvesting, and invasive species -- must not be overlooked. Applying lessons learned from ecosystem management at both poles may help to mitigate regional environmental risks and conserve species, such as the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae).
