A comparison of genomic diversity and demographic history of the North Atlantic and Southwest Atlantic southern right whales. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2023 Abstract Right whales (genus Eubalaena ) were among the first, and most extensively pursued, targets of commercial whaling. However, understanding the impacts of this persecution requires knowledge of the demographic histories of these species prior to exploitation.

Mitochondrial diversity and inter-specific phylogeny among dolphins of the genus Stenella in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The genus Stenella is comprised of five species occurring in all oceans. Despite its wide distribution, genetic diversity information on these species is still scarce especially in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean.

The blue carbon of southern southwest Atlantic salt marshes and their biotic and abiotic drivers [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Coastal vegetated ecosystems are acknowledged for their capacity to sequester organic carbon (OC), known as blue C. Yet, blue C global accounting is incomplete, with major gaps in southern hemisphere data.

Mesoscale eddies in the Subantarctic Front-Southwest Atlantic
Scientia Marina, 2005 Satellite and ship observations in the southern southwest Atlantic (SSWA) reveal an intense eddy field and highlight the potential for using continuous real-time satellite altimetry to detect and monitor mesoscale phenomena with a view to understanding ...

Distribution patterns of macrozooplankton assemblages in the southwest Atlantic [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 1995 A zooplankton net sampling survey was conducted in the southwest Atlantic between 34* and 55* S during austral spring 1990. The survey grid covered shelf, slope and oceanic regions and contained 44 stations spaced at 100/200 km intervals. Sampling was carried out with an RMT8 net which was deployed obliquely from the surface to either 200 m over shelf ...

Stable isotopes indicate population structuring in the southwest Atlantic population of right whales (Eubalaena australis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 From the early 17th century to the 1970s southern right whales, Eubalaena australis, were subject to intense exploitation along the Atlantic coast of South America. Catches along this coast recorded by whalers originally formed a continuum from Brazil to

North American “warming holes” and European heat during abrupt Holocene cooling events in the Atlantic [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsIn recent decades, Europe has warmed rapidly while a prominent ‘warming hole’ has muted changes in eastern North America. Paradoxically, the pattern coincides with cooling in the North Atlantic, even though ocean cooling is commonly expected to chill ...

Coastal influence on microbiomes of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean
Evolving EarthThe possible influence of the continent on the microbiome of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SAO) is not yet fully known. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the metagenomic diversity of the SAO nearshore in different locations (e.g., rivers and ...
