Biogeographical boundaries, functional group structure and diversity of Rocky Shore communities along the Argentinean coast. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We investigate the extent to which functional structure and spatial variability of intertidal communities coincide with major biogeographical boundaries, areas where extensive compositional changes in the biota are observed over a limited geographic ...

Spatial analyses of benthic habitats to define coral reef ecosystem regions and potential biogeographic boundaries along a latitudinal gradient. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Marine organism diversity typically attenuates latitudinally from tropical to colder climate regimes. Since the distribution of many marine species relates to certain habitats and depth regimes, mapping data provide valuable information in the absence of

Benthic biogeographic patterns on the deep Brazilian margin [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The Brazilian continental margin (BCM) extends from the Tropical to the Subtropical Atlantic Ocean, with much of its seafloor within deep waters, supporting rich geomorphological features and under wide productivity gradients.

The distribution of benthic amphipod crustaceans in Indonesian seas [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Amphipod crustaceans are an essential component of tropical marine biodiversity. However, their distribution and biogeography have not been analysed in one of the world’s largest tropical countries nested in the Coral Triangle, Indonesia.

TESTING ECOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS FOR BIOGEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES [PDF]
Evolution, 2010 Barriers to dispersal and resulting biogeographic boundaries are responsible for much of life's diversity. Distinguishing the contribution of ecological, historical, and stochastic processes to the origin and maintenance of biogeographic boundaries, however, is a longstanding challenge.

Biostratigraphic boundaries of Jurassic ages [PDF]
Нефтегазовая геология: Теория и практика, 2020 From the perspective of geobiospheric history, the boundaries of the Jurassic age are considered. Eusto-migratory zoopeneplen are associated with a number of global geobiospheric events, such as mass extinctions, geochemical anomalies, and ocean anoxic ...

The Dacini fruit fly fauna of Sulawesi fits Lydekker’s line but also supports Wallacea as a biogeographic region (Diptera, Tephritidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 Although there is scientific consensus on most of the major biogeographic regions in the world, the demarcation of the area connecting Southeast Asia with Australia and Oceania remains debated.

A new species of Chromis damselfish from the tropical western Atlantic (Teleostei, Pomacentridae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 Initially described in 1882, Chromis enchrysurus, the Yellowtail Reeffish, was redescribed in 1982 to account for an observed color morph that possesses a white tail instead of a yellow one, but morphological and geographic boundaries between the two ...

A molecular phylogeny of Southeast Asian Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) supports an emerging paradigm for Malesian plant biogeography [PDF]
, 2020 The islands of Southeast Asia comprise one of the most geologically and biogeographically complex areas in the world and are a centre of exceptional floristic diversity, harbouring 45,000 species of flowering plants.
