DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8888
Abstract: Abstract The study of sister species that occur in parapatry around biogeographic transition zones can help understand the evolutionary processes that underlie the changes in species composition across biogeographic transition zones. The South Eastern Pacific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-04930-x
Abstract: Interactions among the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans through ocean–atmosphere coupling can initiate and/or modulate climate variability. The Pacific Ocean is home to ENSO which affects other oceans through atmospheric bridges and the oceanic Indonesian… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11284-018-1567-3
Abstract: Alcyonacea are sessile invertebrates, which can significantly shape the boundary layer in coral reefs and rocky habitats. Ecological aspects in this taxon have been well studied in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Indo-Pacific. With few recent… read more here.

Latitudinal distribution of polyplacophorans along the South-eastern Pacific coast: unravelling biases in geographical diversity patterns
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Marine Biodiversity"
DOI: 10.1007/s12526-020-01060-0
Abstract: Latitudinal diversity patterns in marine species are commonly estimated from literature records, which at times are incomplete and/or biased. Advances in molecular phylogenetics have contributed to avoid this bias, clarifying the identity of the species,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.105201
Abstract: Migratory marine megafauna generally move vast distances between productive foraging grounds and environmentally stable breeding grounds, but characterizing how they use these habitats to maintain homeostasis and reproduce is difficult. We used isotope analysis of… read more here.
