Ecology and distribution So far Achnanthes kohleriana sp. nov. has been observed with certainty on several islands of the South Shetland archipelago (Livingston Island, Deception Island and King George Island). The largest population was found on Deception Island among wet mosses growing on a rock, located inland and far from the influence of sea sprays and with no nutrient input from sea birds or seals suggesting that the species is typically aerophilic. Other taxa present in the sample include Humidophila keiliorum Kopalová in Kopalová et al. (2015), H. deceptionensis Kopalová in Kopalová et al. (2015), Stauroneis pseudomuriella Van de Vijver & Lange-Bert. in Van de Vijver et al. (2004), S. pseudoschimanskii Van de Vijver & Lange-Bert. in Van de Vijver et al. (2004) and several Luticola species.
