Controlled by ecological and physical factors, marine species distribution may vary due to
global climatic changes that result from range expansion or contraction (the latter caused by …

In order to understand the complex evolutionary processes and patterns that explain current
island biodiversity, large datasets and long-term analysis are required. The Last Interglacial …

In this work, all the Lower Pliocene gastropod assemblages of Santa Maria Island are
revised. These all form part of the Touril Complex. Seventy-seven species are identified …

Chondrichthyans and osteichthyans are widely reported from marine sediments of the
Central Paratethys, not only by sporadic occurrences, but also by complex, diverse fish …

Modern and palaeo-shores from Pleistocene Marine Isotope Substage 5e (MIS 5e) featuring
prominent cobble/boulder deposits from three locations, on the southern and eastern coast …

Sedimentary rocks are rarely preserved on reefless volcanic oceanic islands because their
sediments are mostly exported from coastal areas towards the deep sea and such islands …

The fossil record of the Azores still lacks evidence of terrestrial invertebrates. Based on a
study of the collections of Quaternary fossil plant imprints from the Azores, located in the …

The presence of decapod crustaceans in the Pliocene and Pleistocene (MIS 5e) fossil
record of Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago) is herein reviewed. Our study raises the …

Marine species that are widely distributed in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) has served
as a model for studying biogeographic patterns resulting from the effects of intraregional …

Geographic distribution, as well as evolutionary and biogeographic processes and patterns
of marine invertebrate benthic species are strongly shaped by dispersal ability during the life …
