Bio-Engineers of Marine Animal Forests: Serpulidae (Annelida) of the Biostalactite Fields in the Submarine Cave “lu Lampiùne” (Mediterranean Sea, Italy)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Marine caves are complex habitats characterized by intense environmental gradients from the entrance towards the innermost dark sectors. The submarine caves at the Cape of Otranto (Mediterranean, SE Italy) host skeletonized invertebrates able to build 3D

Faunal diversity of the benthic amphipods (Crustacea) of the Magellan region as compared to the Antarctic (preliminary results)

Scientia Marina, 1999
To investigate the marine benthic ecosystems of the Magellan region and to compare them with the better known Antarctic systems, three campaigns were recently carried out in this area: the Joint Magellan Victor Hensen Campaign 1994, the Polarstern ANT ...

Expansion of the known distribution of Asiatic mouflon (Ovis orientalis) in the Late Pleistocene of the Southern Levant [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Wild sheep (Ovis orientalis) bones recovered from the Natufian site of Shubayqa 1 demonstrate a wider distribution of mouflon in the Late Pleistocene of the Southern Levant than previously known.

Filling ecological gaps in Chilean Central Patagonia: Patterns of biodiversity and distribution of sublittoral benthic invertebrates from the Katalalixar National Reserve waters (~48°S)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Knowledge about the composition, diversity, and geographic distribution of marine species is important for successful conservation planning in the future.

Zoogeographic relationships of Magellan Nudibranchia (Mollusca: Opisthobranchia) with particular reference to species from adjacent regions

Scientia Marina, 1999
Extensive recent collections and taxonomical revisions provide a basis for the first zoogeographical analysis of Magellan Nudibranchia. Using 36 of 57 nominal species described in this area, the degree of endemism has been decreased from 70% to 31%. Very

The Role of Old Relicts in Structuring the Boreal/Tropical Transitional Zone: The Case of East Asian Planktonic Cladocera (Crustacea)

Diversity, 2023
Previous studies provided evidence of the mixing of boreal–tropical cladocerans (Crustacea) in the Far East of Eurasia, as well as the presence of numerous pre-Pleistocene relict endemics.

Assessment of the Biogeography and Molecular Phylogenetics of Sea Cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in South Africa

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The biogeography and evolution of South African sea cucumbers have been previously explored; however, these aspects lack detailed study. This study (1) explores the biogeography of sea cucumbers along the coastline of South Africa (SA) and (2) presents a preliminary molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S marker.

Biogeographic Diversity Meets Functional Similarity: Trait Convergence in Benthic Infauna From the Arctic Ice‐Covered North to Ice‐Free South

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Species redistributions and ecological shifts are increasingly evident in Arctic ecosystems, but few studies have examined benthic invertebrate communities using biogeographic and functional frameworks. This study examines the distribution of Arctic, Boreal, and Cosmopolitan infaunal species across a latitudinal gradient on the West ...

Sipuncula of the Magellan area compared with adjacent regions of Antarctica

Scientia Marina, 1999
The Magellan sipunculan fauna includes 4 families, 7 genera and 16 species. A comparison between this fauna and that from adjacent regions of Antarctica has been made. A total of 8 species and 3 genera are shared by the compared areas.

Diversity of the ‘eerie’ glass squid genus Taonius Steenstrup, 1861 (Cephalopoda: Oegopsida) in the Pacific Ocean

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 5, Page 461-496, December 2025.
ABSTRACT ‘Glass’ squids (family Cranchiidae Prosch, 1849) are diverse and widely distributed, but many cranchiid genera are in need of global taxonomic revision. Although two species of Taonius are generally recognised from the Pacific Ocean (T. belone and T.
