Forest productivity in southwestern Europe is controlled by coupled North Atlantic and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillations [PDF]
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) drives biological responses in terrestrial ecosystems through oscillatory modes of climatic variability. Here, the authors show how landscape scale productivity responses to NAO are contingent upon the Atlantic ...

Black Corals (Anthozoa: Antipatharia) from the Southwestern Atlantic [PDF]
Black corals (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) occur in all oceans of the globe, especially at depths greater than 50 m. However, their richness is underestimated due to the scarcity of studies on this group, especially in deep waters. The south Atlantic is one of the most depauperate regions in terms of our knowledge of antipatharians. Herein, we

Genetic diversity patterns of lionfish in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
The present study applied genetic markers to describe the early stages of the lionfish bioinvasion of the equatorial Southwestern Atlantic and the Brazilian coast, to determine the origin and diversity of the invading fish, and potential dispersal routes,

Composition and rhythmic variations in the microbiome of Southwestern Atlantic corals. [PDF]
Diel and tidal rhythms can regulate the metabolism, physiology, behavior, and gene expression patterns of different organisms, with evidence of an integration on the circadian behavior of host species and their microbial community. Corals host a diverse and dynamic microbial community, with variable diversity and abundance across geographic and ...

Dramatic ENSO related Southwestern Atlantic ecosystem shifts. [PDF]
Abstract ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) events are becoming more frequent and more intense as climate change continues. Although ENSO effects are known to propagate into the southwest Atlantic, knowledge of how these anomalies result in ecological impacts is yet to be documented.
