Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Filter feeders living on suspension feeders: New insights into the lifestyle and distribution of Arcturidae Dana, 1849 (Crustacea: Isopoda) around Iceland

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract The focus of the present study was on arcturid isopods occurring in the subarctic region around Iceland. Data from two decades of sampling with an epibenthic sledge (EBS) during numerous expeditions of the BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic Waters; 1992–2004) and IceAGE (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology; 2011—ongoing ...

A Detailed Reconstruction of the Woodlark Basin

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
An animated 100,000‐year‐interval tectonic reconstruction of the Woodlark Basin in the southwest Pacific illustrates how, at intermediate initial spreading rates, orogenic continents break up (dyke model), spreading segments nucleate, transform faults ...

Empowering Regional Conservation: Genetic Diversity Assessments as a Tool for Eelgrass Management

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To halt the loss of biodiversity, collaboration among scientists, managers and decision‐makers is vital. Although biodiversity loss is a global problem, management actions influencing diversity are often on a local to regional scale. Our study is an example of a regional conservation genomic assessment developed in collaboration between ...

Semi‐Automated Detection of Right Whales (Eubalaena spp.) in Very High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Space‐based detection of whales is proliferating because it shows promise as a monitoring tool, yet tests of its application across taxa and environments are rare. The objective of this study was to develop an end‐to‐end, semi‐automated procedure for detecting two right whale species (Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis) in satellite imagery.

Was the Midcontinent Rift part of a successful seafloor‐spreading episode?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2014
AbstractThe ~1.1 Ga Midcontinent Rift (MCR), the 3000 km long largely buried feature causing the largest gravity and magnetic anomaly within the North American craton, is traditionally considered a failed rift formed by isolated midplate volcanism and extension.
