Southern Ocean biodiversity reflects past climate, oceanographic, and tectonic changes.
Molecular data from contemporary populations carry signatures of these processes. Here …

We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation
patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly …

Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more
than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time …

Understanding how geography, oceanography, and climate have ultimately shaped marine
biodiversity requires aligning the distributions of genetic diversity across multiple taxa. Here …

The Antarctic biota is highly endemic, and the diversity and abundance of taxonomic groups
differ from elsewhere in the world. Such characteristics have resulted from evolution in …

Background Comparative phylogeography enables the study of historical and evolutionary
processes that have contributed to sha** patterns of contemporary genetic diversity …

Antarctic notothenioid fishes are the classic example of vertebrate adaptive radiation in a
marine environment. Notothenioids diversified from a single common ancestor∼ 22 Mya to …

Contemporary patterns of genetic diversity and population connectivity within species can
be influenced by both historical and contemporary barriers to gene flow. In the marine …

How natural climate cycles, such as past glacial/interglacial patterns, have shaped species
distributions at the high-latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere is still largely unclear …

There has been no comprehensive study of the bathymetry of notothenioid fishes. Therefore,
I analyzed minimum and maximum depths and depth ranges for 128 of 142 species that …
