Maturation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae): a synthesis of ecological, genetic, and molecular processes
Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high...

An estuarine system as a possible nursery habitat for the broadnose sevengill shark: San Antonio cape—Southwest Atlantic
The nursery habitats of the broadnose sevengill shark Notorynchus cepedianus (Péron, 1807) remain largely unknown. The identification of these...

Scytalium herklotsi sp. nov. (Anthozoa, Octocorallia, Pennatulacea), the first Atlantic species in the genus Scytalium Herklots, 1858
A new species of the sea pen genus Scytalium Herklots,
1858 , is proposed based on the morphological and molecular study of a colony collected during...

Assessing the potential for red tide (Karenia brevis) algal bloom impacts on Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) along the southwestern coast of Florida
This study investigated the potential effects of red tide events (blooms of the toxin-producing dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis ) on Atlantic tarpon ( Me...

Climate change-related changes in cephalopod biodiversity on the North East Atlantic Shelf
Global studies imply that cephalopods have benefited from climate change. However, in most areas, species-specific long-term cephalopod data sets do...

Evolutionary history of the calcareous sponge Clathrina aurea: genetic connectivity in the Western Atlantic and intriguing occurrence in the Eastern Pacific
Clathrina aurea was considered endemic to Brazil before being recorded from the Pacific (Peru) and the Caribbean Sea. We assessed the morphological...

The presence of two distinct mitochondrial lineages in the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) in Puerto Rico and their affinities with previously reported lineages
Sound management of coastal resources is based on science-based decisions. Bottlenose dolphins are found around Puerto Rico; however, limited...
