Origin and Biogeography of the Colourful Sap‐Sucking Sea Slugs Genus Thuridilla Bergh, 1872 (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Heterobranchia)

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Thuridilla Bergh, 1872, is a lineage of herbivorous sea slugs externally distinguished by bright colours and distinctive patterns of lines and spots. Recent work revealed an exceptionally rapid, cryptic radiation of 13 species in the Indo‐Pacific, raising questions about mechanisms of speciation in this group.

Restructuring of the "Macaronesia" biogeografic unit: a marine multi-taxon biogeographical approach [PDF]

, 2019
The Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde are commonly united under the term “Macaronesia”. This study investigates the coherency and validity of Macaronesia as a biogeographic unit using six marine groups with very different ...

Movements, growth rates and strong sexual segregation in critically endangered tope sharks Galeorhinus galeus in the Northeast Atlantic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The tope (Galeorhinus galeus, Linnaeus, 1758) is a critically endangered shark, which, like numerous elasmobranchs, faces severe global decline. There are, however, substantial disparities between this species' global conservation status and those of some local populations, with the Northeast Atlantic representing a relative stronghold for ...

Establishment and population expansion of the non‐native Azores chromis (Chromis limbata) in the subtropical southwestern Atlantic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study documents new records and the spatial–temporal progression of the non‐native Azores chromis (Chromis limbata) in southeastern Brazil, particularly on the coast of São Paulo state. We report the first confirmed occurrence of C. limbata in the Alcatrazes Archipelago and document that, in recent years, its abundance has exceeded that ...

Modeling the Potential Distribution and Richness of Cetaceans in the Azores from Fisheries Observer Program Data

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Marine spatial planning and ecological research call for high-resolution species distribution data. However, those data are still not available for most marine large vertebrates. The dynamic nature of oceanographic processes and the wide-ranging behavior

Market Potential, Road Accessibility, and Firm Births: Evidence From 20 Years of Road Investment

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the causal effects of road accessibility, measured by market potential, on firm births in Portuguese municipalities between 1991 and 2016, a period marked by significant road improvements. We address the endogeneity of market potential by employing instrumental variables within Poisson Pseudo‐maximum Likelihood ...
