Siphonophores from surface waters of the Colombian Pacific Ocean
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)
Siphonophores are colonial hydrozoans that feed on zooplankton including fish larvae, and occur throughout the world’s oceans from surface waters to ocean depths. Here we describe the composition of hyponeustonic siphonophores ...
In quest of contact: phylogeography of helmeted terrapins (Pelomedusa galeata, P. subrufa sensu stricto)
(PeerJ, 2018)
Based on rangewide sampling and three mitochondrial and two nuclear markers
(together up to 1,850 bp and 1,840 bp, respectively), we examine the phylogeography
of two helmeted terrapin species (Pelomedusa galeata and P. ...
DNA sequencing reveals three new species of Chamberlainium (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) from South Africa, all formerly passing under Spongites yendoi
(De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2021)
Three new non-geniculate coralline algal species from South Africa are described that were passing under the misapplied name, Spongites yendoi. Based on plastid encoded DNA sequences from psbA and rbcL markers, these species ...
Climatic and topographic changes since the Miocene influenced the diversification and biogeography of the tent tortoise (Psammobates tentorius) species complex in Southern Africa
(BMC, 2020)
Background: Climatic and topographic changes function as key drivers in shaping genetic structure and cladogenic
radiation in many organisms. Southern Africa has an exceptionally diverse tortoise fauna, harbouring one-third ...
Mesoscale structure of neuston assemblages across the southern Indian Ocean subtropical gyre
(Elsevier, 2022-12-28)
Despite concern around plastic pollution in subtropical gyres, our understanding of the biological component of
the neustonic layer (upper 20 cm of the ocean) in these areas is poor. Here we investigate the neuston ...
