Rapid diversification of grey mangroves (Avicennia marina) driven by geographic isolation and extreme environmental conditions in the Arabian Peninsula [PDF]
Abstract Biological systems occurring in ecologically heterogeneous and spatially discontinuous habitats provide an ideal opportunity to investigate the relative roles of neutral and selective factors in driving lineage diversification. The grey mangroves (Avicennia marina) of Arabia occur at the northern edge of the species' range and are subject to ...

Narrow Margins: Aerobic Performance and Temperature Tolerance of Coral Reef Fishes Facing Extreme Thermal Variability. [PDF]
Over long timeframes, animals may adapt or acclimate to their environment. By comparing fishes from ‘typical’ and thermally extreme coral reef habitats, we find limited differences in their metabolic physiology and show that those from the extreme environment are living closer to their maximum temperature.
