Testing for concordance between predicted species richness, past prioritization, and marine protected area designations in the western Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Scientific advances in environmental data coverage and machine learning algorithms have improved the ability to make large‐scale predictions where data are missing. These advances allowed us to develop a spatially resolved proxy for predicting numbers of tropical nearshore marine taxa.

Opposing genetic patterns of range shifting temperate and tropical gastropods in an area undergoing tropicalisation

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 246-262, February 2024.
Abstract Aim The poleward range expansion of tropical species, and range contraction of temperate species (known as tropicalisation) has mainly been studied from an ecological perspective, with little research on its genetic consequences. Here, we used distributional and genetic data to document the consequences of tropicalisation in rocky shore ...

Natural history and morphometry of the Cuban iguana (Cyclura nubila Gray, 1831) in Cayo Sijú, Cuba [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The report presents data about the Cuban iguana population (Cyclura nubila nubila) inhabiting Cayo Sijú, an 88 ha island off the southwest coast of Cuba. Population densities estimated using strip transects were higher in xerophytic coastal scrub (6.72 ±

Dépôts fluviaux et marins dans la zone côtière: une approche sédimentologique et morphologique de la région de Vitória, ES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
A dificuldade na distinção entre areias fluviais e marinhas não é incomum, principalmente em litorais com pouco aporte sedimentar e com planícies muito próximas à área fonte.

The Role of Artificial Structures in Facilitating Range Expansion of the Introduced Barnacle Megabalanus Coccopoma in the Southeastern U.S.A. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The barnacle Megabalanus coccopoma is a recent invader of the southeastern U.S.A. from the tropical eastern Pacific. In Georgia, M. coccopoma populations along the immediate coastline often suffer extensive mortality during the winter, but population ...

Population-Level Genetic Structure of Acmispon Argophyllus on the Channel Islands of California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The California Channel Islands present an ideal system in which to study unique biogeographical patterns seen in island systems near a mainland source, where spatial barriers are likely to limit gene flow without disrupting it completely.

Disentangling the mechanisms shaping the surface ocean microbiota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BACKGROUND: The ocean microbiota modulates global biogeochemical cycles and changes in its configuration may have large-scale consequences. Yet, the underlying ecological mechanisms structuring it are unclear.

Demographic History and Adaptive Evolution of Indo‐Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins ($Tursiops$ $aduncus$) in Western Australia [PDF]

open access: yes
Demographic processes can substantially affect a species' response to changing ecological conditions, necessitating the combined consideration of genetic responses to environmental variables and neutral genetic variation.
