The 142 species of tonnoidean gastropods recorded from the Neogene to Recent faunas of
tropical America (Mexico, and a few taxa from Florida and California, south to Ecuador and …

Egg size is one of the fundamental parameters in the life histories of marine organisms.
However, few studies have examined the relationships among egg size, composition, and …

Abstract The well‐documented Floridian Gulf/Atlantic marine genetic disjunction provides an
influential example of presumed vicariant cladogenesis along a continental coastline for …

We investigated the recent evolutionary history of demersal sea stars in the genus
Odontaster throughout the Western Antarctic waters and on the South American shelf. The …

In the traditional biogeographic model, the Galápagos Islands appeared a few million years
ago in a sea where no other islands existed and were colonized from areas outside the …

Studies of genetic diversity and population genetic structure in marine organisms are
relevant to understanding populations' variability, and therefore their ability to withstand …

Our present knowledge of marine macroalgal diversity for the Central American Pacific coast
is limited by the short history of investigations (ca. 100 years) and few algal specialists …

Our understanding of how communities are regulated diminishes with increasing spatial
scale. Because oceanographic processes supply food, transport propagules, and set abiotic …

The phylogenetic relationships of 24 nominal species of temnopleurid echinoid were
established using molecular and morphological data sets. The analysis combined sequence …

Marine sponges are an ecologically important and highly diverse component of marine
benthic communities, found in all the world's oceans, at all depths. Although their …
