Abstract Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy have been used to gain new insights on the dynamics of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) in the Cape Verde Frontal Zone (CVFZ), a highly dynamic area comprising the thermohaline Cape Verde Front (CVF) and the Cape Blanc Giant Filament (CBGF), which exports organic matter produced over the shelf to the ...

Macroevolutionary Patterns of Phytochemical Diversity in a Macaronesian Archipelago
ABSTRACT Aim Plant specialised metabolites are highly diverse and serve various functions, yet the different forms of phytochemical complexity and their drivers are often not fully understood. In this context, islands provide a valuable opportunity to explore the drivers of phytochemical diversity and its adaptive significance, owing to their unique ...

New records for the pleustonic snails Janthina and Recluzia (Gastropoda: Epitoniidae) for Chile
Janthina and Recluzia species are pleustonic snails that feed on cnidarians and can be easily differentiated by their shells, which are of a striking purple to violet-blue hue in Janthina, and whitish to brownish in Recluzia. In the southeastern Pacific

ABSTRACT Aim Macaronesian cloud forests are insular ecosystems subjected to local environmental variability, but the responses of their tree species to climate variations have never been studied. Our aim was to assess how the variation in environmental conditions associated with the geographical location of several islands in three Macaronesian ...

Geographic and Biological Drivers Shape Anthropogenic Extinctions in the Macaronesian Vascular Flora
The anthropogenic extinction patterns and processes of the vascular flora in the model island region of Macaronesia have been investigated in the present study. We compiled all known extinction records, both at global and local scales, across the five archipelagos comprising the region (Azores, Madeira, Salvajes, Canary Islands, and Cabo Verde).
