DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-3966-z
Abstract: The saddled blenny Malacoctenus triangulatus is a widely distributed species of cryptobenthic reef fish that occurs from the Caribbean to southeastern Brazil, including the oceanic islands. Subtle morphological differences have been observed between populations, suggesting some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2019.05.006
Abstract: Abstract The western tropical Atlantic plays an important role in the interhemispheric redistribution of heat during millennial-scale changes in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The proper evaluation of this role depends… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020pa003876
Abstract: Negative excursions in the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ13C) at Atlantic intermediate to mid‐depths are common features of millennial‐scale events named Heinrich Stadials. The mechanisms behind these excursions are not yet fully understood, but most… read more here.

Time‐Varying Upper Ocean Circulation and Control of Coral Bleaching in the Western Tropical Pacific
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093632
Abstract: The western tropical Pacific Ocean (WTPO) features complicated ocean circulation systems and has the warmest world open‐ocean waters. Small upper ocean temperature change there can exert significant impact on the regional coral reef ecosystems. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04165-z
Abstract: The dispersal of marine organisms can be restricted by a set of isolation mechanisms including hard barriers or hydrological features. In the Western Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon River discharge has been shown to act as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14111
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are major contributors to ocean biogeochemical cycling. However, mixotrophic metabolism and the relative importance of inorganic and organic carbon assimilation within the most abundant cyanobacteria are still poorly understood. We explore the ability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4237.2.7
Abstract: The current biogeographic and taxonomic knowledge on decapod larvae in tropical oceans is still very incomplete, in spite of their huge ecological and socio-economic importance. The present study reports two new records for decapod larval… read more here.
