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 …

The high diversity of Southern Ocean sea stars (Asteroidea) reveals original evolutionary pathways
Benthic life in the Southern Ocean (SO) features unique life history traits and species
assemblages, but the origin and evolution of many of these taxonomic groups is still unclear …

Is reproductive strategy a key factor in understanding the evolutionary history of Southern Ocean Asteroidea (Echinodermata)?
Life traits such as reproductive strategy can be determining factors of species evolutionary
history and explain the resulting diversity patterns. This can be investigated using …

Diversity of the Pterasteridae (Asteroidea) in the Southern Ocean: a molecular and morphological approach
An integrative approach is crucial in discrimination of species, especially for taxa that are
difficult to identify based on morphological characters. In this study, we combine genetics …
