Are integrative systematic tools efficient toward unraveling species diversity with the genus Jania (Corallinaceae, Rhodophyta)? [PDF]
Abstract The articulated genus Jania currently comprises 54 accepted species, making it the fourth most speciose genus among corallines, following Lithophyllum, Amphiroa, and Lithothamnion. Unlike these other genera, Jania is relatively easy to identify at a generic rank. However, morpho‐anatomical characters are insufficiently discriminant for species

Global Cold-Water Coral Biodiversity Redistribution Under Projected Climate Change. [PDF]
Cold‐water corals are key habitat providers in the world's oceans, yet their global distribution, diversity patterns, and vulnerability to climate change remain poorly understood. Our study mapped the global distribution of 741 cold‐water coral species and showed that while the overall coral biome may persist in the future, many species will shift ...

MPAs in ABNJ: lessons from two high seas regimes [PDF]
AbstractEstablishing a network of marine-protected areas (MPAs) in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) is viewed as an important measure to protect marine biodiversity. To date 12 MPAs have been established: two in the Southern Ocean and 10 in the North-East Atlantic region, and more are proposed.
