A comparison of genomic diversity and demographic history of the North Atlantic and Southwest Atlantic southern right whales [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2023 AbstractRight 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. We used deep whole genome sequencing (~40×) of 12 North Atlantic (E.

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.

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.

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 ...

Marine debris ingestion by albatrosses in the southwest Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015 Plastics and other marine debris affect wildlife through entanglement and by ingestion. We assessed the ingestion of marine debris by seven albatross species in the southwest Atlantic by analyzing stomach contents of birds killed in fisheries. Of the 128 specimens examined, including four Diomedea species (n=78) and three Thalassarche species (n=50 ...

Remotely induced storm effects on the coastal flooding along the southwest coast of India
Oceanologia, 2023 The southwest coast of India is exposed to long-period swells propagated from the South Indian Ocean during pre- and post-monsoon seasons. Although swells from the Southern Ocean and Atlantic Ocean were identified in the North Indian Ocean, their ...

DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF GYMNOSOMATA (GASTROPODA: OPISTHOBRANCHIA) IN THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC [PDF]
Journal of Molluscan Studies, 1998 The distribution and abundance of gymnosome gas tropods in the Argentine Sea and Brazil-Malvinas Confluence during 1978-1979 and 1988 were studied. The collections analyzed included 768 quantitative samples obtained between 48°W and the coast, and from 35°S to 55°S. Two species were found.

Patagonian Dust as a Source of Macronutrients in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Oceanography, 2018 The role of Patagonian wind-borne dust as a source of macronutrients to the surface waters of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean was evaluated for the first time. During spring 2016, a series of experiments with dust was conducted to evaluate the dynamics of macronutrient dissolution in seawater.
