Out‐of‐Africa: Origin of the Disjunct Distribution of Paleotropical Eneopterinae Crickets (Gryllidae, Xenogryllini)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 116-130, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Many groups of terrestrial plants and animals display a disjunct distribution pattern in the Paleotropics, being found almost exclusively in tropical Africa and Asia. The origin of such a pattern may be manifold, particularly for older lineages where plate tectonics potentially played an important role.

On the Fallacy of Color Discrimination: The Rise and Fall of a Rare and Endemic Box Crab (Brachyura: Calappidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the major reservoirs of marine biodiversity and harbors an exceptionally high number of endemic species. Nevertheless, the taxonomic status of many of these endemics still requires confirmation through integrative, modern approaches.

Earthquake crisis unveils the growth of an incipient continental fault system

Nature Communications, 2019
The Al-Idrissi Fault System in the Alboran Sea is a major tectonic structure in its initial stage. By using bathymetric and seismic reflection data, the authors unravel a 3D geometry for the AIFS, which corresponds to a crustal-scale boundary and ...

Imaging the Low Dip Onset of the Gibraltar Arc Subduction in the Gulf of Cádiz Using OBS Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract Using P and S‐wave receiver function analysis we investigate the lithospheric structure in the Gulf of Cádiz through a combination of ocean‐bottom seismometers and onshore seismic stations located in southwest Iberia and northwest Africa. By applying common conversion point migration with custom earth models accounting for the marine sediment ...

Seafloor Morphology and Processes in the Alboran Sea

, 2021
49 pages, 15 figures The seafloor of the Alboran Sea reflects its complex tectonic, sedimentary, and oceanography dynamics as a consequence of the geological context, involving interaction between the Eurasian and African plates, and oceanographic context, as it is where the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters meet. Their physiography has a semi-enclosed

Mediterranean Gate Sanctuary for the Protection of Cetaceans

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The Alboran Sea, located at the western Mediterranean Sea, hosts a diverse and ecologically important cetacean community, including endangered species. However, current marine protected areas (MPAs) in the region are limited in scope, and existing conservation strategies are insufficient to address the wide‐ranging ecological needs of ...
