A glycymeris-rich unit as evidence of a late pleistocene tsunami event from NW ...
Doukani, Mohamed Amine; Satour, Linda; Ozer, Caner Kaya; Belkebir, Lahcene; Voelker, Antje; Tedjeddine, Hassane; Landau, Bernard; Uchman, AlfredCompared to the extensive research carried out on the Neogene deposits of the Lower Chelif Basin, the Pleistocene series is still poorly studied, with no detailed lithological succession published to date. This study focuses on the Glycymeris-rich Unit (GRU) along the coastal area of the Hachacha Plateau in Northwestern Algeria. This unit unconformably overlies Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene basements. The ...
Mollusc epifaunal assemblages are simplified due to habitat shifts under ocean ...
Martins, Gustavo M.; Jiménez Herrero, Javier; Canella, Cristina; Ávila, Sérgio P.; Prestes, Afonso; Ramos, Joana Barcelos e; Hall-Spencer, Jason M.Ocean acidification can have profound effects on marine organisms, particularly those that rely on calcium carbonate for shell and skeleton formation, resulting in structural changes to marine ecosystems. Here, we contrast the structure of marine mollusc communities (epifauna) associated with an abundant shallow-water macroalga, Halopteris scoparia, in an area with seawater carbonated by natural CO2 seeps and t...
Palaeobiogeography of NE Atlantic archipelagos during the last Interglacial (MI...
Melo, Carlos S.; Marques da Silva, Carlos; Scarponi, Daniele; Martín-González, Esther; Rólán, Emilio; Rojas, Alejandra; Martinez, Sergio; Silva, LuísIn order to understand the complex evolutionary processes and patterns that explain current island biodiversity, large datasets and long-term analysis are required. The Last Interglacial (LIG) was one of the warmest interglacials during the last million years. How species mobility changed during this period in the Macaronesia geographical region has long intrigued scientists. It is well established that the nor...
O que nos dizem os fósseis? Expansão geográfica de espécies de moluscos marinho...
Melo, Carlos S.; Ávila, Sérgio P.As espécies tendem a ocupar áreas geográficas, grosso modo, bem definidas. Tal acontece tanto no meio marinho como no meio terrestre. No caso das espécies marinhas, a distribuição geográfica é controlada por uma série de fatores ecológicos e físicos, sendo a temperatura que se regista durante o período da reprodução um dos fatores principais a regular a distribuição, implementação e manutenção de populações viá...
Macaronésia como unidade biogeográfica marinha : será?
Melo, Carlos S.; Ávila, Sérgio P.[…]. Importa aqui analisar a classificação da Macaronésia como unidade biogeográfica marinha. Freitas et al. (2019), com base na análise de seis tipos de organismos marinhos com diferentes capacidades de dispersão, concluíram que, na atualidade, a Macaronésia não existe, como unidade biogeográfica marinha. Assim, Cabo Verde deverá ser considerado como uma subprovíncia biogeográfica isolada, os Açores como uma e...
Range expansion of tropical shallow-water marine molluscs in the NE Atlantic du...
Melo, Carlos S.; Martín-González, Esther; da Silva, Carlos M.; Galindo, Inés; González-Rodríguez, Alberto; Baptista, Lara; Rebelo, A. CristinaControlled by ecological and physical factors, marine species distribution may vary due to global climatic changes that result from range expansion or contraction (the latter caused by local disappearances, i.e., extirpations). Spanning from 13 degrees to 39 degrees N, the Macaronesian region encompasses five archipelagos located within warm-temperate to tropical climatic zones and influenced by a surface water...

Melo, Carlos S.; Martín-González, Esther; da Silva, Carlos M.; Galindo, Inés; González-Rodríguez, Alberto; Baptista, Lara; Rebelo, A. CristinaIt was with much interest that we read the comment made by Meco et al. (2022), regarding our work on “Range expansion of tropical shallow-water marine molluscs in the NE Atlantic during the last interglacial (MIS 5e): Causes, consequences and utility of ecostratigraphic indicators for the Macaronesian archipelagos”. We welcome the discussion generated by our paper and appreciate the recognition of its complexit...
Pleistocene coralline algal buildups on a mid-ocean rocky shore : Insights into...
Rebelo, Ana C.; Rasser, Michael; Ramalho, Ricardo S.; Johnson, Markes E.; Melo, Carlos S.; Uchman, Alfred; Quartau, Rui; Berning, Björn; Neto, Ana I.Located on the northern coast of Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, central North Atlantic), the Lagoinhas section preserves a carbonate buildup correlated with Marine Isotope Substage (MIS) 5e, the warmest interval of the Last Interglacial. The buildup is formed mainly by crustose coralline algae (CCA) identified as Spongites sp., and some subordinate crusts of Lithophyllum sp. and Neogoniolithon sp., as ...
Macaronesia as a Fruitful Arena for Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology
Florencio, Margarita; Patiño, Jairo; Nogué, Sandra; Traveset, Anna; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Schaefer, Hanno; Amorim, Isabel R.; Arnedo, Miquel A.Research in Macaronesia has led to substantial advances in ecology, evolution and conservation biology. We review the scientific developments achieved in this region, and outline promising research avenues enhancing conservation. Some of these discoveries indicate that the Macaronesian flora and fauna are composed of rather young lineages, not Tertiary relicts, predominantly of European origin. Macaronesia also...
