Though climate change is widely known to negatively affect the distribution and abundance
of many species, few studies have focused on species that may benefit. Gentoo Penguin …

Much of Antarctica's highly endemic terrestrial biodiversity is found in small ice‐free patches.
Substantial genetic differentiation has been detected among populations across spatial …

Penguins are the only extant family of flightless diving birds. They currently comprise at least
18 species, distributed from polar to tropical environments in the Southern Hemisphere. The …

Antarctic ecosystem services are rich and diverse and include global climate modulation,
biodiversity and habitat protection, cultural heritage, scientific knowledge, education and …

Abstract Aim The Antarctic Circumpolar Current imparts significant structure to the Southern
Ocean biota. The Antarctic Polar Front is a major barrier to dispersal, with separate species …

Aim The long history of isolation of the Antarctic continent, coupled with the harsh ecological
conditions of freezing temperatures, could affect the patterns of genetic diversity in the …

The Amazon–Orinoco plume (AOP) is the world's largest freshwater and sediment discharge
into the ocean. Previous studies limited to mtDNA suggest that the swimming crab …

Understanding the evolutionary and ecological processes involved in population
differentiation and speciation provides critical insights into biodiversity formation. In this …

The microbiome is a key factor in the health, well-being, and success of vertebrates,
contributing to the adaptive capacity of the host. However, the impact of geographic and …

Gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) are found across the Southern Ocean with a
circumpolar distribution and notable genetic and morphological variation across their …
