Extracting and Enriching Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) Data with R

, 2017
Programmatic access to biodiversity data is revolutionising large-scale, reproducible biodiversity research. In the marine realm, the largest global database of species occurrence records is the Ocean Biogeographic Information System, OBIS. As of January 2017, OBIS contains 47.78 million occurrences of 117,345 species, all openly available and ...

Eastern Pacific Origin and Global Dispersal Dynamics of Palaemonine Shrimps

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To reconstruct the spatiotemporal dynamics underlying the global distribution of palaemonine shrimps and to test how geographic origin, paleogeographic connectivity and larval developmental strategy shaped macroevolutionary dispersal patterns.

Accounting for Intra‐ and Intergenomic Sequence Variation in Reference Barcodes Improves eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Assessment

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can rapidly characterise biodiversity, yet its accuracy and effectiveness are limited by incomplete DNA barcode reference databases. We evaluated how comprehensive reference databases that include sequence variation within genomes (intragenomic) and across individuals and species (intergenomic) improve ...

No Model Fits All: Dynamic Ensemble Species Distribution Model Reveals Seasonal Patterns of Essential Habitat Use by Ocean Giants in the Southwest Pacific

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Essential habitats are areas that support biological and ecological functions critical for species' survival. For highly mobile and elusive marine species, aggregations in these habitats provide rare opportunities to study their ecology and inform conservation.

Biogeographic Diversity Meets Functional Similarity: Trait Convergence in Benthic Infauna From the Arctic Ice‐Covered North to Ice‐Free South

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Species redistributions and ecological shifts are increasingly evident in Arctic ecosystems, but few studies have examined benthic invertebrate communities using biogeographic and functional frameworks. This study examines the distribution of Arctic, Boreal, and Cosmopolitan infaunal species across a latitudinal gradient on the West ...

Ecology and Seasonal Habitat Use of Northern Bottlenose and Sowerby's Beaked Whales in the Azores

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Beaked whales are among the least known cetaceans, yet they are regularly observed in the Azores, a region recognized as a hotspot for deep‐diving species. In this study, we analyzed opportunistic sightings collected during 1492 whale‐watching trips, including 149 beaked whale encounters, of which 89 were Sowerby's (Mesoplodon bidens) and 31 ...

‘EcoCleanR': enhancing data quality of biogeographic ranges with application for marine invertebrates

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Published distribution data, while invaluable for understanding species' biogeography, often suffer from limitations such as dated and static representations of ranges, a bias toward latitudinal information, and lack of resolution in sampling frequency and variation in abundance throughout a species' distribution.

Mapping Biodiversity Coast‐to‐Coast‐to‐Coast Across Canada's Three Oceans Using eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA
Marine biodiversity worldwide is rapidly declining, and nowhere is this more evident than in coastal ecosystems where the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activities concentrate.
