Biodiversity and biogeography of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic mollusca
For many decades molluscan data have been critical to the establishment of the concept of a
global-scale increase in species richness from the poles to the equator. Low polar diversity …

Multi-year coral recruitment study across the Florida Reef Tract reveals boom-or-bust pattern among broadcast spawners and consistency among brooders
Scleractinian coral populations are in global decline, and successful recruitment is
fundamental to community persistence and recovery, but recruitment may vary by coral …

The ecology of extinction: molluscan feeding and faunal turnover in the Caribbean Neogene
Molluscan faunal turnover in the Plio–Pleistocene of the tropical western Atlantic has been
attributed to drops in temperature or primary productivity, but these competing hypotheses …
