A new species of Leucostethus (Anura, Dendrobatidae) from Gorgona Island, Colombia [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 We describe a new species of Leucostethus from Gorgona Island, a small (13 km2) island located 35 km from the Pacific coast of southern Colombia. The new species most resembles L. argyrogaster and L. fugax from western Amazonia at 340–870 m elev. in Peru

Spatiotemporal variability of oxygen concentration in coral reefs of Gorgona Island (Eastern Tropical Pacific) and its effect on the coral Pocillopora capitata [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) is one of the main factors limiting benthic species distribution. Due to ocean warming and eutrophication, the ocean is deoxygenating. In the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), deep waters with low DO (

Emergence, spread, and impact of high-pathogenicity avian influenza H5 in wild birds and mammals of South America and Antarctica. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The currently circulating high‐pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus of the subtype H5 causes variable illness and death in wild and domestic birds and mammals, as well as in humans. This virus evolved from the Goose/Guangdong lineage of the HPAI H5 virus, which emerged in commercial poultry in China in 1996, spilled over into wild birds,

Avian influenza overview June-September 2023. [PDF]
EFSA J, 2023 Abstract Between 24 June and 1 September 2023, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) outbreaks were reported in domestic (25) and wild (482) birds across 21 countries in Europe. Most of these outbreaks appeared to be clustered along coastlines with only few HPAI virus detections inland.

Multiple distant origins for green sea turtles aggregating off Gorgona Island in the Colombian eastern Pacific. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mitochondrial DNA analyses have been useful for resolving maternal lineages and migratory behavior to foraging grounds (FG) in sea turtles. However, little is known about source rookeries and haplotype composition of foraging green turtle aggregations in

Flora of the Island of Gorgona (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy)
Webbia, 2011 Summary After centuries of trubled history, in 1869 the Island of Gorgona (Tuscan Archipelago, Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) became a rural penal colony and, as a consequence, of difficult access. At present, with its prison, the island is part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, created in 1996, the largest marine park in Europe.

Octocoral densities and mortalities in Gorgona Island, Colombia, Tropical Eastern Pacific
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014 Owing to the decrease of reef organisms in general, it has become essential to study populations that are prone to marine diseases, with the purpose of developing accurate survivorship predictions and in turn alarm on triggers and drivers of disease ...
