Patterns of reef fish taxonomic and functional diversity in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
A core challenge in ecology is identifying the factors that determine species distribution and functional diversity of species assemblages. Reef fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates, form taxonomically rich and functionally diverse communities and represent a key source of food for humans.

The distribution of coastal fish eDNA sequences in the Anthropocene
Abstract Aim Coastal fishes have a fundamental role in marine ecosystem functioning and contributions to people, but face increasing threats due to climate change, habitat degradation and overexploitation. The extent to which human pressures are impacting coastal fish biodiversity in comparison with geographic and environmental factors at large spatial

Zircon Dates Long‐Lived Plume Dynamics in Oceanic Islands
Abstract In this contribution we report the first systematic study of zircon U‐Pb geochronology and δ18O‐εHf(t) isotope geochemistry from 10 islands of the hot‐spot related Galapagos Archipelago. The data extracted from the zircons allow them to be grouped into three types: (a) young zircons (0–∼4 Ma) with εHf(t) (∼5–13) and δ18O (∼4–7) isotopic mantle

The here presented modified Tumaco multivariate index (TMI4) has the potential to anticipate the sign and the amount of ENSO‐induced rainfall anomalies over extensive northern and western areas of Colombia (see the significant correlations between TMI4 and rainfall anomalies on the left).

Abstract High‐resolution bathymetry and three‐dimensional seismic data along the Cocos Ridge reveal a 245 km2 field of ∼1–4 km in diameter seafloor depressions. The seafloor depressions are part of a two‐tiered honeycomb pattern. The lower‐tier depressions have steep faults that truncate strata with chaotic internal reflections consistent with sediment

Abstract The Mexican hogfish (Osteichthyes: Labridae, Bodianus diplotaenia Gill, 1862) is widely distributed throughout the tropical eastern Pacific from the Gulf of California to northern Peru, including all oceanic islands. Artisanal fishers occasionally capture it today and its remains are recovered at pre‐Columbian dwelling sites along the Pacific ...

«Lo chiamavano Malpelo». Verga for Z Generation [PDF]
A reinterpretation of the short story Rosso Malpelo through the song, with the same title, by Anastasio. The analysis of the text will focus on the interpretative level, in search of pop culture elements that refer to the theme of prejudice.
Tirendi, Carla
core
The oceanic island of Malpelo, 380 km west of the Colombian mainland, stands out from other islands of the Tropical Eastern Pacific by its harsh environment and depauperate flora and fauna, thus imposing strong selective pressure on the small number of ...

NOTES ON THE ECOLOGY OF THE LIZARDS FROM MALPELO ISLAND, COLOMBIA
Observations of two of the endemic species of lizards of Malpelo Island provide new information on their natural history, ecology, and population size. Anolis agassizi, the most abundant and broadly distributed lizard, feeds mainly on insects and excrements of marine birds.
