Population Dynamics of Ervilia castanea (Montagu, 1803) Hints at Evolutionary Processes Shaping North‐East Atlantic Insular Sandy Habitats [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Shallow‐water sandy habitats of volcanic oceanic islands are among the most geologically and ecologically dynamic marine habitats on Earth. We investigate the population genetic patterns of Ervilia castanea, an infaunal marine bivalve with a planktotrophic larvae inhabiting Macaronesian shallow‐water sandy habitats.

Anthropogenic CO2 in the Azores region [PDF]

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2010
The AZORES-I cruise was conducted in August 1998, spanning the length of three latitudinal large-scale sections at 22, 28 and 32ºW. The oceanic carbon system was oversampled by measuring total alkalinity, total inorganic carbon and pH. It is thus possible to estimate anthropogenic CO2 (CANT) and to investigate its relationship with the main water ...

The Azores Countercurrent [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 1993
Abstract New light is shed on Worthington's concept of the North Atlantic circulation, postulating the existence of two anticyclonic gyres. This concept, which seems to have been laid to rest in the last decade, has now been reinforced by the results of a simple linear Sverdrup circulation model yielding a band of westward transport all across the ...
