The Christmas Island Seamount Province, Indian Ocean: Origin of Intraplate Volcanism by Shallow Recycling of Continental Lithosphere? [PDF]
, 2011 The east-west-trending Christmas Island Seamount Province (CHRISP, 1800x600 km) in the northeastern Indian Ocean is elongated orthogonal to present-day plate motion, posing the question if a mantle plume formed this volcanic belt.

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.A study of the diversity of myxomycetes associated with remote islands in the Indian Ocean. ABSTRACT Myxomycetes are a widespread group of organisms but, given their inconspicuousness and the specialist knowledge needed to culture and identify them, there are many regions of the world where they have never been studied.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Range size constitutes a fundamental characteristic of every species and is commonly believed to influence diversification rates. This relationship is potentially dependent on the mode of speciation and other intrinsic factors, including geographic setting and species attributes. Yet, not only the size of the geographic range, but also the
