A first glimpse into the biogeographic affinities of the shallow benthic communities from the sub-Antarctic Crozet archipelago
Sub-Antarctic islands are expected to show a high degree of endemicity due to their
remoteness. However, biogeographic affinities in the sub-Antarctic remain poorly …

Implications of extensive addition of new mitogenomes for sea star phylogenetics and evolution (Echinodermata: Asteroidea)
Despite their ecological and evolutionary interests, the phylogeny of Asteroidea (sea stars)
is still subject to debate at several taxonomic levels. In the present study, we assemble new …
