Target‐capture probes for phylogenomics of the Caenogastropoda
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1372-1388, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Target‐capture approaches have facilitated a rapid growth in the field of phylogenomics but few probe sets exist for molluscs, an exceptionally rich phylum with unparalleled ecological and morphological diversity. We designed and tested the first universal probe set using Phyluce to capture ultraconserved elements (UCEs) and exon loci from the

Origin of the tropical–polar biodiversity contrast
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 6, Page 1207-1227, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim The aim was to investigate the evolutionary origins of the striking biodiversity contrast between high‐ and low‐latitude regions in the present day. Is this a relatively recent phenomenon, causally linked in some way to the greenhouse–icehouse transition and onset of global cooling c.

Effects of ocean acidification on Antarctic marine organisms: A meta‐analysis
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 10, Page 4495-4514, May 2020., 2020 Antarctic waters are among the most vulnerable in the world to ocean acidification due to their cold temperatures, naturally low levels of calcium carbonate and upwelling that brings deep CO2‐rich waters to the surface. This meta‐analysis demonstrates groups of Antarctic marine biota in waters south of 60°S have a range of tolerances to ocean ...
